The Dogfight Begins: Rasmussen- Beauprez 44, Hickenlooper 44

Hickenlooper "is now officially in a dogfight to save his political life."
This link was sent to me by a reader with the comment: "Tell me again how popular gun control is! Hickenlooper was considered unbeatable prior to the wildly unpopular gun laws. It also explains why Hickenlooper tried to backtrack with the sheriffs the other day. His internal polling must have shown this one issue has made an easy race into at least a close one, and it might even cost him his office."
From the article:
This must have Hickenlooper’s handlers deeply disturbed, as Hickenlooper shows he becomes quite unhinged when things aren’t going well for him. It equally must be devastating to a man who only wants people to love him. Even after four years of trying his gosh darn best, less than half of Colorado likes Hick enough to want him around for another four years. At this rate, we can expect to see Hickenlooper standing on a street corner with a cardboard sign that says, “Will lie to you for affection.”
Seriously, how does Hick respond to this? His whole political career has been that of a one-trick pony, where he pretends to be above the political fray; more benevolent deity than politician. Now that his record of the past four years has shown this to be a complete fraud, he’s got no cards left to play. The man who deigns campaigns and politics to be beneath his grand stature, can’t suddenly enter the bare-knuckle, dogfight for your political life world without exposing himself for what he truly is: a complete sham.
