Hickenlooper A Go For Gov
By Reid Wilson
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper (D) will run to replace retiring CO Gov. Bill Ritter (D), 2 Dem sources tell Hotline OnCall.
Hickenlooper's decision, first reported by the Denver Post, gives Dems a top-tier candidate in the wake of Ritter's decision to leave after a single term. Hickenlooper could make a formal announcement as early as this afternoon.
The Denver mayor is one of the most popular politicians in the state, and he will be a formidable contender against likely GOP nom./ex-Rep. Scott McInnis (R).
Ritter surprised the political establishment last week when he said he would not seek a 2nd term. His announcement, coming the same day word leaked that Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Chris Dodd (D-CT) would not seek re-election, contributed to speculation that Dems were jumping ship amidst turbulent political waters.
Some Dems wanted Interior Sec. Ken Salazar to return from DC to run for the seat, and Salazar got grudging permission from the WH to do so. But Salazar decided against making a bid and said last week that he would endorse Hickenlooper.
Update: Hickenlooper came to prominence as a Denver businessman thanks to his Wynkoop Brewery. The DGA, which is likely to prefer Hickenlooper over ex-House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D) or any other candidate, held a fundraising event at the Wynkoop during the '08 Dem convention.
Hickenlooper is a rich, elitist doofus with no clue what people are going through out there in the real world and not a lick of common sense.He's the last person who should be representing Colorado. I remember a few years ago when I couldnt get to work for amost week because of his idiotic snow removal plan- ie. do only the major streets and hope the sidestreets melt on their own. Doesn't work too good when it's 20 degrees out and there's 8 foot drifts jackass! The worst part is that while his city was paralyzed and his citizens were buried up to their necks, he was on TV talking about the great sledding party he was organizing for disadvantaged youths! I am seriously not even making this up!
Can someone please suggest a good website to find a place to rent in Spain. Should I be using the well known websites or is there an cheaper way to organise with the owners direct? Thanks, Lisa

Your entry reminds me of when I was a child growing up in Wyoming. My father used to say "When life give you lemons, make lemonade". But he was a hopeless alcoholic who never made much sense so I never paid much attention to him. Have a great day!

You can get a video recording professionally produced for more or less $47.00 97.00 (30-60 seconds) showing your upper-class desk drawer slide. You can even prove how good it is to destroy your contenders and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword search done for you professionally, keying the keyword phrases that will get you a sufficient amount of search volum, yes with softer competing pages.
