Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and his allies are taking new steps toward launching a presidential campaign, including interviews with dozens of potential staffers and hiring a pollster and national fundraiser, according to a person close to the Democrat.
Hes already launched a political action committee that allows him to raise money nationally and hired his 2014 campaign manager, Brad Komar, to run it. Since the PAC was formed in September, Komar has done 80 interviews with possible campaign staffers, the person said. Of those, Hickenlooper has conducted or participated in 30 interviews. The operation has hired Democratic veteran Anna Greenberg as its pollster and FK & Co. as national fundraisers; it raises money for Democratic senators including Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
Hickenlooper isnt expected to make a formal decision on running for president until his term ends on Jan. 8. The person close to the governor requested anonymity because Hickenlooper hasnt yet formally launched his campaign.
The moves come as potential presidential contenders step up efforts to get their campaign infrastructures into place. With as many as two dozen possible candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, there is a fierce competition playing out for talent.
Hickenloopers second term in Colorado has been consumed with speculation over a potential presidential run. But he has sounded less ambiguous in recent days.

Then there are the yankee immigrants who (unfortunately) are legal who destroyed the economies of their home state by voting Democrat and then moved here ad immediately started doing the same thing because they're too stupid and arrogant to realize they brought their own doom upon themselves. I'm not a native Georgian, but I never voted Democrat in my life (my parents would split the ticket until they died, but now they vote straight Democrat)
So between the racist Blacks (98% of them) and the idiot white liberals Georgia almost got a steaming pile of manure as a governor.
