CD7 Democratic debate, part one

Here's the wildest vaguely substantiated rumor I heard at this evening's CD7 Democratic debate. Hickenlooper will declare for governor. Beauprez will panic and drop out of the race. He'll then have to defend his CD7 House seat. Rick O'Donnell will be forced out of the race and Beauprez will beat up the Democratic nominee - Peggy Lamm, Ed Perlmutter or Herb Rubenstein.

Up until now, CD7 has been ranked by the Washington Post as the most likely district in America to change hands in 2006. But if this scenario plays out, all that goes up in smoke.

UPDATE: NARAL is starting it's own Draft Hick movement.
