This will also allow Hickenlooper to save face by not getting resoundingly trounced at the State Assembly, as he was at precinct caucuses. Silver lining!😉
BFD, Romanoff will get destroyed in the actual vote that counts — the primary. Kind of like Bernie will get demolished tomorrow. You can take that to the bank!
Even if… so what?
Only the candidate ever remembers who won caucus/assembly.
Ask Governor Kennedy.
Or any of dozens and dozens of other caucus "winners' who did not win the nomination.
Caucus "winning" is about getting on the ballot.
Otherwise – it's almost exactly the same as losing.
Ouch! That's going to leave a mark.
BTW, I assume you have already factored in that we won't have our mini-meetup next Saturday at The Abbey unless they have a drive-thru lane.
Stay well, and we can reschedule once all this foofaraw runs its course.
Looking forward to meeting you, Harry.
Hickenlooper, of course, will be delighted to have any delegate votes going to other candidates, potentially getting more on the ballot through the Assembly. Spread the anti-Hick vote among multiple candidates in the primary, and it is even MORE likely he will have a substantial plurality.
True enough, and not a new thought. For me, it isn’t so much “anti-Hick” as voting for the person whose voice I think we need now.
I thought that Angela Williams was most prepared of all the candidates, having won all her elections, a broad coalition of support, and the most recent legislative experience. However, Senator Williams dropped out, as that theoretical support didn’t translate into dollars.
Now, I’m supporting and working for Lorena Garcia, because her ideas on reproductive rights, immigration, the environment, and other issues are closest to my own. She has the vision and leadership potential of an AOC, Ilhan Omar, Katie Porter. She’s also an exciting and dynamic speaker. Romanoff has those qualities, as well, but he lacks the perspective of a young LGBT Latina. Some of Romanoff’s earlier politically expedient positions on a balanced budget and “papers please” law haunt his candidacy for me.
It isn’t a secret that I’m anti- Hickenlooper, for reasons rooted in his historic, constant and unambiguous support for the oil and gas industry. I think we owe it to future generations to promote leaders who will prioritize their health and well being.
At the least, Hick will understand that he has no mandate from voters for his pro-fossil fuels agenda. Romanoff will understand that he has to prioritize issues of concern to working poor folks of all genders and ethnicities. I’ll vote D, of course.
Lorena Garcia? She should be running for something more appropriate to her skill set like a town council seat or maybe an HOA board.
Sorry, Romanoff has never won anything but his Capitol Hill statehouse seat, though he keeps trying. He just doesn't have statewide appeal, and never will.
Anyone know if Lorena Garcia got enough signatures?
Probably, yes. Of course, the sigs still have to be validated.
I don't think I've read or heard of Hick even acknowledging the existence of any Democratic opposition. It's all been about how Gardner is bad for Colorado, a Trump pegboy, etc. It's excellent strategy for someone in Hick's position to treat the Dem nomination as a foregone conclusion. Of course, that strategy is more easily and credibly adhered to by sidestepping the dick-punching he would have received in the assembly/convention process.
In hindsight, a shrewd move to get the signatures before the world gets shutdown. That’s the kind of foresight I like in a senator. He is going to be a formidable candidate in the primary and the general. Hooray for competent politicians.
Amen to that!
Hicks’ primary opposition are equally, if not more so, competent professional people. If electing people who have political connections and money is your goal, you have your candidate. Hick definitely owns that category. That’s what happens after a decade or more of handing out favors and calling in markers.
“Competent politicians” got us here.
How about “”Honest public servants” this time? Oh…right. Hick doesn’t fit that description.
Where was it, Governor, they used that cocktail you drank, the one they called “CleanStim”, to hydraulically fracture a gas well?
Want to change my opinion of Hick?
Find me an answer to that question…other than …”nowhere”.
I have no responsibility to change your opinion on anything Duke. You can believe anything you want as long as you vote for a Democrat against Gardner. Vote Blue no matter who.
A note to Alva:
I noticed you forgot to add "Yay, Hickenlooper!" to the end of your piece.
Really guys?
Wouldn't a "Hickenlooper for Governor" banner on your masthead be more effective?
Oh shit my pants. There are other people in the universe who don't think Hickenlooper is the scourge that I portray him as. Must throw more mud.
Defend a liar all you want, GG.
Doesn't make him not a liar.
Wonder …….deleted………
Remember he is going to caucus with the Democrats. That's a better outcome than Gardner winning. It's not my job to make you happy. I don't write to change anyone's mind. I just like contributing to the communal mindset. You still have a chance to snatch the nomination away from the hated Hick. Work on electing your favored candidate and if it happens, I'll vote Blue no matter who.
