2003 Denver Mayoral Election The Rocky Mountain News sprang a pop quiz on the mayoral candidates this week. None of the candidates aced the quiz. From the article, "Overall, Hickenlooper and historic preservationist Elizabeth Schlosser did the best and Perington did the worst," ... "Oh, by the way, the candidates did better on the pop quiz than several reporters who took it." Candidate answers to the pop quiz. E-mail from John Hickenlooper's campaign is claiming that the Denver Post has endorsed him in the election. I haven't verified that yet but if true that would mean that the Post and the News have both endorsed him for mayor. Both papers have already endorsed Ed Thomas for auditor. So much for the independent editorial staffs of the Denver Newspaper Agency. 7:03:23 AM
