If Hickenlooper is choosen by Ritter to fill the Senate seat, who will you support in the Bannock Street sprint?
There are a lot of possibilities out there and even more not mentioned here below.
The way it works: If Hickenlooper were to resign, Deputy Mayor Bill Vidal would take over temporarily. A special election for the remaining two years of Hickenlooper’s term would be held in May.
Whoever got the most votes would become mayor. There would be no runoff, even if no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote.
Vote for your favorite so far and tell everyone who you think will run. Or pick Romanoff because Hick just won’t get the gig.
Michael Hancock, District 11
Pros: Energetic and ambitious former council president; good knowledge of city and strong name recognition; could raise money. Cons: Not well known outside northeast Denver, where low turnout could hurt.
Is in this for real
Charlie Brown, District 6 & Rick Garcia, District 1 & Carol Boigon, City Council at-large
No council member has greater the 19% chance of winning, cept Hancock.
Cole Finegan, former city attorney, chief of staff for Hickenlooper & Penfield Tate, attorney, former legislator, high quality bond broker
Those making way too much cash …
Mitch Morrissey, district attorney
AG and USA positions await he and Don Quick
Michael Bennet, DPS superintendent, former Hickenlooper chief of staff, former right hand man for business tycoon, east coast transplant
Still got some teaching to do. With a drop out rate at 30% and a reported 50%+ minority D.O. rate, we need Mikey to eat his Wheaties so he can Stand and Deliver.
Peter Groff, President of State Senate, attorney
Why would he subject himself to the pain
Chris Romer, State Senator, attorney and former bond broker
Wants to subject himself to the pain
Andy Romanoff, Speaker of the Colorado House, attorney
Would he enter the race as a booby prize?
Bill Vidal, former Mr. Everything road related
He’ll be the Mayor … for a while

you’ve made this quite confusing enough yet. Can you come up with more nicknames and another poll?
okay, everyone knows that my diaries aren’t great in grammer, but this really is more confusing(and the poll made no sense)
