CO-Sen: Hickenlooper Stronger Than John Salazar in New Poll

[ccharles000]

This is pretty interesting: Public Policy Polling takes a look at two potential Senate appointees, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and 3rd CD Rep. John Salazar, and finds that Hickenlooper would start in a stronger position against two potential GOP foes (12/16-17, registered voters):

John Hickenlooper (D): 54
Bill Owens (R): 40
John Hickenlooper (D): 54
Tom Tancredo (R): 37

John Salazar (D): 52
Bill Owens (R): 43

John Salazar (D): 53
Tom Tancredo (R): 40
(MoE: ±3.7%)

In other state news, Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter just named ex-state Rep. Bernie Buescher as the state's new SoS, meaning that outgoing state House speaker Andrew Romanoff's is still on the table for the Senate job. Also possibly in the mix: former state Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald, who has contacted Ritter recently to express her interest in the appointment.

1. I think Hickenlooper would be more progressive which is why I would be for him.

3. Hickenlooper

Is a true progressive. I know the man, have met with him, had him in our neighbourhood meetings when he ran for office. He would be an excellent Senator....too bad he is a straight white male, that might doom him.http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/
