Gov. Hickenlooper files paperwork to run for reelection
FOX31 Denver ^ | August 13, 2013 | Eli Stokols

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper officially filed paperwork with the Secretary of State Tuesday to seek a second term.

...

His decision in late May to grant a temporary reprieve to Chuck E. Cheese killer Nathan Dunlap prompted the first wave of Republican opponents to enter the race, starting with Tom Tancredo, the former GOP congressman who challenged Hickenlooper in 2010

...

Former Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp, R-Littleton, who now heads up the Intermountain Rural Electric Association, which is still smarting over the passage this year of Senate Bill 252, which forces REAs to draw more energy from renewable sources, has also indicated he may join the primary field.

Would you vote for a second term for Hickenlooper?

Tancredo would have been a shoo in if not for super rich easterners meddling in Colorado. Soros is also a co conspirator in the meddling. With two representatives under recall the election will probably exceed all others in mud slinging.

Sincerely hope Colorado citizens sober up and get rid of Chickenroper and his gang of East & West Coast weasels. Otherwise Colorado will slide into decay and debt like Californicate.

Thanks to George76 for the ping! Gov. Chickeneffer of Colo. running for 2nd term. Gun grabber.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

We are in a sea of transplant Liberals from California. They probably fled CA to get away from the high taxes and oppressive government only to create the same here in Colorado.

Texas is looking pretty good.

BTW, I am a Colorado native. My wife too.

You have my sympathy. We stopped visiting Colorado several years ago because the people became Californish.

You know it sucks when your Governor is more liberal than New Mexico’s current one. (Sorry, couldn’t resist)

My idiot niece got priced out of NorCal and moved there last year.

I hear you. I wanted an escape hatch other than Texas if it came to it.

Ya. Me too.

There is still a decent population of Conservatives in Colorado. Mostly out in the rural areas and Colo Spgs. But they are getting squeezed by Liberal government in Denver.

Some positive news — the two recalls.
