Democrats Urge Hickenlooper, Bullock to Run for Senate

[wyldwolf]

“Democrats on Capitol Hill have a message for presidential hopefuls John Hickenlooper, the former governor of Colorado, and Steve Bullock, the current governor of Montana: you’d make great senators,” CNN reports.

“Hickenlooper and Bullock have struggled to gain traction in a crowded field of Democratic presidential candidates, but as governors, they have already proven they can be elected statewide. As Democrats gear up for a fight for the Senate, many are quick to say they believe Hickenlooper and Bullock would make formidable challengers to Republican senators up for re-election in Colorado and Montana.”

1. Bullock maybe, but Colorado has several impressive candidates including Andrew Romanoff

former speaker of the Colorado State House that I think would be better choices.

2. Hickenlooper has no desire to be a senator... and someone who doesn't want a job...

...is not likely to be very good at it. Unless we had no one else who could win that seat, I'd look elsewhere.
