Denver November 2006 Election
Colorado Pols: "Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is saying that he'll wait to make a decision on running for governor until after the May vote for a new jail in Denver. The important thing in that message, and in how the Dems responded to it, is this: as we've been reporting for months, everyone is so scared of running against Hickenlooper that they'll wait for him to decide before they do. The problem with this, from the Dems perspective, is that cowtowing to Hick makes everyone else the Dems second choice in the eyes of the public. If Hick doesn't run, the press will bill whoever does run as the Democratic Party's 'second choice,' which is unfair but perhaps unavoidable."
