No, no, there’s not a scandal or anything. Get your head out of the gutter. From an e-mail we received from the Romer campaign:
Denver mayoral candidate Chris Romer today unveiled a long, diverse list of women supporters that includes women who are leaders in business, public service, education and community activism.
“I’m proud to have thousands of women supporting my vision for keeping Denver moving in the right direction,” said Romer. “I expect even more for Denver’s future and that includes a world-class school system to match the best jobs of the future.”
Obviously, because Romer has supporters, chances are he has supporters who are also women. That fact in itself probably wouldn’t warrant blasting out a list of female movers and shakers.
What’s interesting, though, is that Romer did indeed advertise that list of those endorsers blessed with two X chromosomes. Following Carol Boigon’s Gail Schoettler endorsement, it seems like Romer’s shoring up his female support base. Again, it’s a pretty standard thing to do, but maybe Chris is just a little worried that the “first woman Mayor” card may work for Boigon after all.
Some of the names on the list, like Jennifer Coken and Nancy Spence, are just the kinds of endorsements you want to promote. It does seem like a little bit of a stretch, however, for Romer to include his former Senate Aide Marcy Dill. I mean come on, we’d be much more concerned if a former staffer didn’t endorse her old boss.
Seriously, if you have to include former female aides on your list of high-profile female endorsers, your list of high-profile female endorsers may not be as “long and diverse” as you think.

I heard he will next roll out a list of rich white protestant straight (or very closeted) men for Romer — they call it this list “Republican Bankers who oppose Democratic ideals…for Romer”
Maybe Josh Penry can help him with this like he did with that fundraiser a few weeks back.
If he’s going to list his aide, I guess he might as well through on any woman who supports. Is his wife missing from this list?
