Hickenlooper’s First Energy Stance = Con-Lite

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, now running to be the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, made his intentions regarding drilling on Colorado’s West Slope known about a week ago.  His statement doesn’t spark any confidence that he’ll deliver messages in ways that voters will respond.  In fact, it’s an early signal that the message Massachusetts voters sent have yet to be heard in this part of the country (timing of the two events notwithstanding).  If Hick wants to be the next Governor of Colorado, he has a steep learning curve ahead of him.
