CO GOV: Romanoff V. Hickenlooper?
By Erin McPike
Hotline OnCall hears that supporters are urging CO ex-Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D) to abandon his bid against Sen. Michael Bennet (D) and instead run for GOV, setting up a potential primary against Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (D).
After Interior Sec. Ken Salazar announced last week that he'd back Hickenlooper in a potential GOV bid, the WH called Hickenlooper to prod him into the race to replace outgoing-Gov. Bill Ritter (D). Hickenlooper, according to sources who know where he stands, is 90% in the race. Dems hoped he would run for GOV in '06, but his cold feet led to Ritter's successful candidacy. They feel more confident Hickenlooper will make the race this time, but given the experience four years ago, they're still not sure what he'll do.
But while Hickenlooper is almost near a bid, Romanoff may be even closer.
The DSCC has rallied around Bennet, and CO and DC Dems have tried endlessly to find a place for Romanoff that's anywhere but the primary against Bennet. There were some discussion among Dems about putting Romanoff into the LG slot should Hickenlooper make the run, but that's far less likely, sources say.
Reps. Diana DeGette (D-01) and Betsy Markey (D-04) have held several discussions about making GOV bids, but sources say both are leaning against it. State Treas. Cary Kennedy (D) may be interested. Stay tuned...
Can someone please recommend a good place to find a villa in Spain. Should I look on the big rental companies or is there an easier method to rent from the owners directly? Cheers, Lucy
