The Last 14 Hours Awards
The Funniest Thing To Happen To Me In The Last 14 Hours Award goes to: I get to last night's installment of Drinking Liberally. I order a Coors Light. Immediately, someone slaps down a book detailing the history of the Coors family's involvement in right-wing politics. Oops, my bad.
The Dumbest Thing I've Heard In The Last 14 Hours Award goes to: The article about Mayor Hickenlooper in today's Rocky Mountain News, which I noticed at Coyote Gulch. It leads with the idea that Hickenlooper can't win the governor's mansion because he is a Denverite. The source on this is outgoing Republican state senator Joe Stengel, who says, "I think Mayor Hickenlooper will find his popularity wanes when he gets outside of Denver... Denver is very liberal. What works in Denver may not be the same as in Littleton or Jefferson County." Thanks Joe. Nevermind that I walked your district in 2004 and met Republicans who thought Hickenlooper was one of their own. For further clarification of this point, check out Coloradopols post on 2005's big winners.
The Smartest Thing I've Heard In The Last 14 Hours Award goes to: A group of Democratic activists rallying to Democratic candidate for governor Bill Ritter. Discussing his flaws using his language. Discussing his talking points using well-thought out arguments. Personally, I think Ritter's early declaration worked for him. Of course, if Hickenlooper does declare he will be a formidable opponent for Ritter and Beauprez. Much to the surprise of the Rocky Mountain News.
