You Can't Be A Winner Without Some Losers

Former Mayoral Candidates Spahn and Mejia have each take prominent roles in Chris Romer’s Campaign. I’m excited about this. I think both former candidates are incredibly bright, and will offer Romer terrific counsel. Team Hancock: they don’t agree.

Yesterday, prominent Hancock surrogate Terrance Carrol told Fox 31 reporter Eli Stokols: “You’re letting people who couldn’t even win their own campaign run yours.”

I wonder if this comment applies exclusively to Spahn and Mejia, or their staffs, volunteers, and tireless supporters as well?  

If so, apparently the All in We Are All Denver doesn’t apply to those associated with Mejia or Spahn in the first round… The Hancock campaign isn’t interested in earning the support of the 45% of Denver voters who voted for someone other than Romer or Hancock last week? I wonder how they plan on winning w/o some of those losers?

I wish I had details on the talks between the winners and the losers, b/c they undoubtedly decided who the loser candidates chose to endorse. Especially in the case of Mejia. I (along with a lot people on here) assumed Team Mejia would throw their support behind Hancock.

But they didn’t, they picked Romer, and I continue to wonder why. Maybe it’s b/c Team Romer was genuinely interested in their input and ideas.

To balance the budget, and put people back to work we’re going to need all of the candidate’s ideas – even the ones Team Hancock thinks are losers.
