Looks like this man is capable of thinking for himself

NO politician is capable of anything until the polls come in. Hick is waiting to see which way the wind blows. With his CIC coming in today he will not pull a Biden and speak out of turn.

Looks like this man is capable of thinking of his own political future

There, fixed it for you.

I'll have to be honest though, I expected Hick to be worse than Ritter ... he hasn't been (not that I'd still ever vote for him).

We will see what what happens this year. The back door deals and BS he may say nothing, but will he Sign something that is sent up through the house because of all of the public pressure? What will the puppet master do?

I hope he is being serious and understands that more gun control
is not the answer. If so I will vote for him next to round.

Deluge the hick with letters informing him, the only way to end drunk driving is to prohibit the sale of alcohol. The CO Restaurant ASSOC. will be all in on that proposal:)

I didn't vote for hick last time around, but his term in office has made a strong bid for his upcoming reelection. This guy surprises me every time I read a major news story about him. Smart on business and economics, doesn't immediately jump into the royal gun control rumble in this aftermath, and puts out hilarious commercials. What else can we ask from a democrat?

Oh c'mon folks, just because he's wrong 90-98% of the time doesn't mean he isn't honestly on the thinking side of this issue this time. The man's been in Colorado for quite some time, he should know the difference between responsible shooters and nutcases like this. I've only heard bits and pieces about this from Hickenlooper but I think he is honestly trying to strike a reasoning balance on this issue.

To vote with the GOP when bills come up.

Like his commercials, you did read his stance on illegal immigration and his not denying Denver was a sanctuary city.
Yeppers That wacky guv and wife sure do have some "sensible" ideas between them.

Hickenlooper's first tasks included handling the city's budget crisis and changing its career personnel system. His cabinet appointees were relatively young. Mayor Hickenlooper is a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayors_Against_Illegal_Guns_Coalition),[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hickenlooper#cite_note-3) an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by New York City mayor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_New_York_City) Michael Bloomberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg) and Boston mayor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_Boston) Thomas Menino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Menino). Hickenlooper resigned as mayor at 8 am on January 11, 2011, hours before being inaugurated as Colorado's Governor.

don't like the smoke screen fool you. He is a product of Ritter. Hicky needs to go bye bye. A twist of the tongue means nothing, especially from a politician.
