Governor Hickenlooper of Colorado shot pool with the President and had a beer.....

This was the same Governor that signed the bill to limit rounds in magazines that led to the special election last year where John Morse was thrown out of office and Bernie Herpin was elected in his place. The gun nuts were about the only ones to show up for the special election.

Governor Hickenlooper (Hick) won his election yesterday over the right-winger Beauprez and Bernie Herpin was defeated by a Democrat in El Paso County. That Democrat was in my District.

Figure that one out!

And this:

And he still won!

3. Perhaps the lesson for Democrats is:

Hang together or hang separately?

4. Solidarity wins elections. If candidate....

Can't stand up for the commander then why should the people trust them or the party.

6. Yup

10. but we're afraid to go with you Bluto

Sorry. For some reason the thought from Animal House popped into my head.

2. Yep--kudos to the Hick for being a loyal Democrat, and not a quisling/chickenshit.

5. Give people something to vote FOR and we always will win compared to those that vote against.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. And the guy was facing recall the NRA and

the anti pot crowd from the Springs. You campaign on what you did and what you need to get done. The truth will always win out.

8. Best Governor we ever had.. :-)__~~~

Stellar.

9. I was greatly relieved that Hickenlooper didn't start throwing in token anti-Obama statements

like Udall.
In my distrct, (same as yours) our Democratic Congressional candidate was running against not only Obama, but Pelosi too. And gee whiz... They both lost their asses and Hickenlooper won.

11. I saw those ads...

I ran for that same seat about 16 years ago. But I was a defender of Clinton in mid-term, during the Monica Lewinsky "scandal". Obviously, I did not defeat the Chairman of the House Ethics Committee.

12. Progressives win elections, DLC tools don't. EOM.
