…but the guy running his campaign in El Paso County – Hal Bidlack?
a Western Slope white woman
it appears I am way off 🙂
Something that could never have happened. Kathleen Curry.
There was always Janet Rowland…
It’s just funny because the archetype makes so much sense but I don’t know if the person exists. That said, there are a slew of elected officials on the Western Slope (and Front Range, err, and Eastern Plains) that I’ve never heard of or thought about so you never know.
🙂 Your in fine fiddle this morning.

Having a daughter at Ft Collins I forget they have other campuses.
non-pol, hispanic, educator, well known to in state students and alum
I honestly thought it would be Bidlack or Scanlan and it is great to know that there are many, many qualified Dems who would be available.
not that Garcia isn’t, but Hal is a really dynamic speaker, has military experience, and could pull Republicans that look at their own mess and decide the dems are better this time around.
Bidlack is not a Spanish name. BOTH are equally qualified. (Bidlack is a friend of mine on FB) But Garcia delivers all of the anti tancredo crowd.
And I don’t see the big deal about picking a woman. We’ve had women Lts. Hispanic from higher ed sphere outside Denver metro sounds like a very good choice for a Gubernatorial candidate from Denver.
Low risk, better then average return. But will Hickenlooper debate Tancredo and the GOP.
If Hick gets on stage with Tancred’oh! or McPlagarist isn’t even a question….because he’ll make them look like the hysterical shrieking idiots they are, all the while looking cool, collected and he’ll crack a few jokes.
Miss me much?
and wearing one of these.

with hat tip to Ralphie
That’s the entrepreneurial t-shirt dude.
But it’s accurate information, so sez Bartels.
Here I thought me and Hick were friends. Been tellin’ EVERYONE…
http://www.news.colostate.edu/…
So, he is a “Boulder liberal” AND an “Ivy elitist”.
OMG! He is both a leftie and a rightie. Dan Maes was right about the one-worlders.
watching “Tommy the Tanc” get his ass handed to him by a Latino would make the debate that much better. Maybe Hick can be “busy” that day 🙂
I imagine that after they shook hands Tancred-Ugh would wipe his hand on his pants to get rid of the creepy crawly brown cooties.
1) be uncomfortable spewing bigotry
2) have his ass handed to him by Hickenlooper/Garcia
uncomfortable spewing bigotry but he certainly will have his ass handed to him. That will just make him a bigger hero to the crazies and more hateful to Hispanics. Even more votes not going to the R in both those demos.
Tank will still be perfectly happy as he isn’t running because he wants or expects in his wildest dreams to be governor. Just wants to be another hate spewing wacko right celeb. We get Hick. Tank gets tons of wacko street cred. It’s all good for Tank and Dems. Wadhams sits in a dark corner crying.
Takes Hickenlooper out of being “Denver Centric”. Garcia brings in Southern Colorado support plus Pueblo money backers. He is articulate and savy
