We Will Re-elect Mayor Hickenlooper. He is absolutely unbeatable. It would be a complete and total waste of energy to continue to promote a write-in campaign against him.
What a brilliant insight, right?Everyone else could see this months ago, but not me. It finally sunk into my thick skull when last night I attended the first of a series of meet the Mayor events that are being held around the city.The next one’s in South Denver tonight, but I think I’ll pass. If you want to go, see http://hickenlooperformayor.com.
The event last night was highly orchestrated to prevent any exposure for those in the audience who might want to announce a write-in campaign. Questions were only taken in writing and then screened. I asked a couple of tough questions that weren’t selected.
Dennis Gallagher should be reelected as City Auditor. I like Bill Wells very much, but it is clear that Dennis will be in a much stronger position to provide the guidance that the Mayor will need in his next term.
Wellington Webb's daughter Stephanie O'Malley is running for Denver Clerk and Recorder. It looks like she will be the people's choice, as her lone opponent has not mounted a campaign.
There is no opponent in my City Council district. Ike Kelley has announced in District 4 and seems to be attracting support in his tough race to beat a popular incumbent.
The Denver GOP is rising from the ashes under the leadership of Mary Smith. Let's all do what we can to help her build a grassroots organization that can field strong candidates by 2011.
