Hicken-Weasel: Why Colorado's Gutless Gov Is in Trouble
Creators Syndicate ^ | September 24, 2014 | Michelle Malkin

D.C. journalists called the latest Quinnipiac University poll results in Colorado's tight gubernatorial race a "shocker." But it's a surprise only if you've been hopelessly trapped in a Beltway echo chamber.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is down 10 points against former GOP Rep. Bob Beauprez among all likely voters. The Q poll also shows him behind Beauprez by 13 points among independents. A survey conducted last week by Suffolk University for USA Today shows the beleaguered incumbent in a statistical dead heat with Beauprez.

Any way you slice it, Hickenlooper has lost the trust and confidence of voters of all ideological stripes. And despite incessant "War on Women" wails from feminist and leftist groups, the candidates are essentially evenly split among male and female voters. "Hickenlooper is behind the challenger on the key qualities voters want in a leader: honesty, caring and leadership," Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, summed up upon release of the results.

Spinning furiously like a Soul Cycle instructor, a left-leaning journalist at The Washington Post on Monday blamed "partisan venom" and "a polarized, hyper-partisan environment" for Hickenlooper's fall. But the flaky, gutless gov has no one to blame but himself.

It was Hickenlooper who caved to East Coast gun-control zealots and partisan White House lobbying. As Democratic state legislators rigged the hearing process, snubbed Colorado constituents and insulted Second Amendment-supporting women during hearings last year, Hickenlooper was chumming it up on the phone with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden.

I call him “Chicken-Pooper” But “Hicken-weasel” is accurate too...

Thanks to a law signed by Hickenlooper Colorado has a swell system. A person can say "I am moving to this district next month" and they get to vote. Some college students from out of state did this in the last election.

Colorado has such election rigging Illinois is green with envy. It happened the same year the gun laws were passed.

Yes. But I think the last minute types can get a ballot by the method described above. They designed the law around proven methods of kinking the vote.

Thanks, I believe you’re correct about kinking the vote, vote by mail is bad enough.
