Former Colorado Gov.
John Hickenlooper (who?) withdrew, via video, from the contest for the Democratic
presidential nomination Thursday morning.
“’Hick’ plopped down on
some stranger’s porch out in the middle of Iowa with a cameraman in tow and
read his prepared statement with all the canned passion we’ve come to expect
from him, about all the serious thought he will give to a Senate run,” noted Colorado
Peak Politics.
Even in Colorado, where
he is allegedly well-known among Democrats, he received just 7% of the vote in
a Public Policy Polling survey.
There was so little
grassroots appetite for his candidacy that, four months into his campaign, he
had reportedly amassed only 13,000 individual donors. At the time, an
anonymous source reported staff informed Hickenlooper his campaign was on pace
to run out of money by the end of August.
Democrats are frantic. Colorado is a must-win for them if they want
to take back control of the Senate.
Sixty-one percent of Democrats think Hickenloser has the best chance of
unseating Republican Senator Cory Gardner in the general election.
There’s just one teeny,
tiny little problem. Hickenlooper is on
record saying he doesn’t
want to be a senator and “I
don’t think that’s my calling.”
There’s even a video
of him declaring, “the Senate doesn’t attract me. If the Senate’s so good, how come all those
senators are trying to get out?”
If the GOP is clever,
they’ll take those clips of Ol’ Hick and whip up an attack ad or two to rub his
nose in it.
