The U.S. Senate campaign for former Gov. John Hickenlooper today filed petition signatures for inclusion on the Democratic Primary ballot in June. Hickenlooper’s campaign had previously said that it would pursue both the petition signature and caucus routes for ballot access.
At the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, there’s a stack of petitions with Hickenlooper’s name on them.

The Hickenlooper campaign had until March 17 to submit petition signatures for ballot access; Hick’s camp began collecting signatures on Jan. 21, which means it took less than a month to reach the goal (candidates for U.S. Senate must collect 1,500 valid signatures from each of Colorado’s seven congressional districts). It’s difficult to say for sure that Hickenlooper set the mark for the shortest time required for a statewide candidate to collect petition signatures — there are no real records for this — but we certainly can’t recall another campaign putting signatures together this quickly.

You are going to be accused of placing your thumb on the scale – again – in favor of Hick, Pols!
Hah! Thumb?? . . .
. . . that’s just some kinda’ crazy talk!
what scale?
Everyone who wants, could have registered D prior to 2/15 and then caucused their head off for any candidate.
Everyone who is registered can vote in the June primary, which is the only 'scal' that matters.
And then in November the chance will be to flip Colorado, Arizona, Maine and one or two others.
Of course, then the world comes to an end. I saw Ghostbusters.
The scale you ask about is the scale of public opinion. There are some few misguided souls who believe the obvious preference Alva has for the former governor might sway some readers' opinion.
I realize that is a silly notion, but, there it is.
Cue “Ride of the Valkyries.”. It is time for the flightless kiwi bird to repeat her 18 hour lecture series about Hick being no damn good.
take notes. This will be on the test.
Would you be very surprised to learn that there’s been a few pieces of music penned since 1851???? . . .
. . . one or two even in the current Millennium???
You try telling the flightless bird that she needs a new theme song. She's still mad at me for rejecting Marx's theory of commodity fetishism!
Perhaps. I dunno’ . . .
Still, you seem to be the platter spinner with the hand most often furiously cranking out the selections on that there Victrola? . . .
What, no overalls or empty beer cases? WTF kind of operation IS this anyway?!
GiddyUP!
If I was a betting man, I would wager that there are more than enough valid signatures for him to qualify.
Ain't money great?
Money sure beats poverty.
Every time!
There has been more than one period of time in my life where finding two nickels to rub together was tough.
But, no. Money is not evil. But the love of it is the root of All evil…I've heard it said.
Is it even a little surprising I'm struggling to think of a rich person who has said that or worried about it much?
"Long Green" The root of (all) evil. Hopefully this link will work as had to play with it some.
