UPDATE: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols catches up with an irate Speaker Frank McNulty: “I am extremely disappointed that Gov. Hickenlooper broke from the budget framework that we agreed to by vetoing S.B. 213,” said House Speaker Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. “Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate took an important step on welfare […]
In more ways than one, obviously. Boigon’s prepping to launch a new TV buy, and she’s doing her best to imitate her elected predecessor:
After all, who could forget Hickenlooper’s skydiving ad in support of Ref C?
Mark our words, though, Boigon is no Hickenlooper. Hick could get away with these charming ads for his mayoral campaign, Ref C, and his eventual Gubernatorial campaign because of who he was. He came off like your good-natured if goofy next door neighbor. He was approachable in the way you’d want your Mayor to be. His boyish charm made these ads a hit.
In developing ads like these, Boigon clearly wants to paint herself as a Mayor in the spirit of Hickenlooper. Unfortunately, that invitation to see her as a continuation of the Hick years might do more harm than good.
Boigon just isn’t approachable the way Hickenlooper is. Those who know her best would be the first to describe her as an “old school” type of politician; she expects respect for her title and positions. And unlike Hick, who gained financial success from what was first a small business, Boigon doesn’t exactly come off as an entrepreneur.
These ads naturally compare Carol to John. It’s what they were written for. But that’s why this ad in particular seems so odd: it’s like the rich woman your boyish neighbor used to mow lawns for suddenly wants to look cool. At least she didn’t jump out of the plane, though.
As the Colorado Independent’s Joseph Boven reports: Gov. John Hickenlooper signed his first seven bills into law today and said he was not yet on board with Sen. Rollie Heath’s tax increase ballot initiative. Hickenlooper said that while he had not made any promises on the campaign trail, he said he had been pretty clear […]
(No doubt our resident Secretaries of Technology will want to say hello – promoted by Colorado Pols) Good to see that our new Governor is bringing the same forward thinking approach to the state that he did as Mayor of Denver. Just announced that he has appointed a Secretary of Technology who has very high […]
We have to admit this wasn’t what we expected, as the Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel reports: Republican legislators said Thursday they will try to repeal the state’s ‘Amazon tax’ after a judge temporarily blocked it. Gov. John Hickenlooper, meanwhile, said he thinks Internet retailers should pay the same taxes as local merchants… “A full repeal […]
According to a press release from the office of Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper (full release after the jump): Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Sen. Al White will be Director of the Colorado Tourism Office and Joan Henneberry will be the Healthcare Exchange Planning Grant Project Director. White is a businessman from Winter Park who served eight […]
Full press release after the jump, but here’s the meat: Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper announced today Ken Lund will be his Chief Legal Counsel. Lund is now the firmwide Managing Partner of Holme Roberts & Owen in Denver and is responsible for the articulation, development and implementation of the law firm’s client service and engagement strategy. […]
(Unfortunately I think this is the story of the day for the Gov race – promoted by DavidThi808) He also manages to equate those who live there with the murderers of Matthew Shepard: At the 2:00 minute mark you get this quote: Hickenlooper: I think a couple things, I mean, you know, the tragic death […]
Another slightly offbeat offering from Mayor Hickenlooper. Same trademark quirkiness and overall appeal. But it moves pretty fast and tries to pack too much in, if you ask me.
(This is exactly the kind of ad that makes Hickenlooper such a tough candidate in a general election…for anybody. – promoted by Colorado Pols) Gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper is up with his first television ad. Many Pols will remember his tv ads back in his first run (“making change for Denver”, for example) and […]
