Doesn't Hancock have to clear 50% in order to win outright? I thought it goes to a runoff with the top two vote getters if nobody clears 50% next month.
That's correct, though a majority for the incumbent is historically likely–Hickenlooper was re-elected by 86% in 2007. We'll note the possibility and you're right to point it out.
The issue I have with the wording is that the "Anybody but Hancock" group could be fragmented among other candidates, but consolidate in a runoff if Hancock doesn't break 50%.
No argument with that, they'll just have to keep Hancock under 50% first.
The money says he's got it.
But my question is, why hasn't anybody polled the race? Do they usually poll mayor races?
To be honest with you, I hope not. I'm not a fan of his.
There are a lot of disgruntled folks in my neck of Denver due to the steamroller development Hancock has allowed. I've been to a couple of candidate forums and his reception has been less than enthusiastic.
Together, Tate, Giellis and Calderon could keep him below 50%. Whether their respective supporters then pool their votes for the survivor in a runoff is hard to answer. Any one of the three would be better in my opinion (with my preferences in reverse order of their total fundraising).
We'll see if the number of gruntled voters outnumber the disgruntled.
My wife voted for him in 2011 and has regretted it ever since. She absolutely hates him.
I just took a trip down memory lane regarding the 2011 election. I was initially for James Mejia, who didn't make the runoff, winding up between Romer and Hancock.
I really didn't like Chris Romer, so Hancock got my support. Now I know why Mejia supported Republican-Lite Romer — Mejia a few years later turned out also to be a DINO.
Funny though, that Pols thought this endorsement meant game-over for Hancock
I can't vote for Denver Mayor, but Hancock has been on my naughty list since he pushed through breed-specific legislation (BSL) as a councilman, thereby pushing all of the owners of pit bulls out from Denver to Jefferson County, and sentencing thousands of perfectly good dogs to die.
In fairness to Hancock, he was bitten on the butt by a pit bull as a child, which was undoubtedly traumatic, but he could have taken the trouble to inform himself about which dogs are truly dangerous as an adult. (Hint: most dogs can be dangerous)
My last four dogs have been dachshunds. Incredibly loving and too small to be dangerous, though Negev did sell my current one an AR-15.
I've got no love for him, either; the way he's sold out the architectural integrity of the city to greedy developers. I can see two cranes from my kitchen window, both constructing giant luxury apartment buildings. Just what we need in West Wash Park–1000 more people living in ugly multi-colored boxes.
Yes. We do need 1,000 more people living in West Wash Park. In fact we need about 20,000 to 30,000 more housing units in the City to address the critical housing shortage and getting the price equilibrium down to the point where more people can get into market rate housing versus whining for subsidized housing. Only Hancock and Giellis seem to recognize this. But, Giellis is playing the game that existing neighborhoods don't have to accommodate this growth and can be preserved untouched. That all the growth can go into brownfield developments.
I think the money is not really relevant.
I think name recognition is what is important.
The average voter who will vote soon could not name a single candidate other than HandOnCock.
Please edit that cheap shot out, dave. You are better than this.
Are you still the only one allowed to make cheap shots, V? Asking for a friend. 🤔
So you think it is hilarious to call an African-American mayor "Handoncock?"
That's the level of discourse I'd expect from your subaltern Curmy, not davebarnes.
Doin' a little projection there, are we?
I thought pointing out your use of alts would bother you.
And it only took a day for you to revert back from your "Nice guy" schtick, after being called out.
You just can't help yourself.
So I guess that's a "Yes," then. You do feel that you are the only one entitled to make cheap shots without recrimination.
Good to know.
And yeah, "Hand On Cock" is a bit juvenile and in poor taste, but right in line with the boy's-club norms around here.
When are you and Curmy doing your blackface act, MJ? I hear it is a bit over the top.
Careful, V…you're gonna have to post a lot of mewling about tuna salad, your dogs, hell, maybe even a guest appearance by a family member get your "not a troll" cred back.
Maybe.
