Hickenlooper offers full-throated support for Hillary Clinton

In a leafy neighborhood on the outskirts of Denver last night, supporters for Hillary Clinton crowded the living room of former U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar for the kind of grassroots get together organizers said will be key to winning the March 1 Colorado caucuses.

Besides Salazar, on hand for pro-Hillary speeches were Gov. John Hickenlooper, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Lorella Praeli, a former undocumented immigrant who directs Latino outreach for the Clinton campaign. Former Gov. Roy Romer and ex-Denver Mayor Wellington Webb made the rounds among a smattering of Democratic lawmakers, politicos, lawyers, lobbyists, retirees and young people who ate from a buffet and drank Tecate beer on the lawn.

In the summer Hickenlooper had donated to the Clinton campaign, but as recently as this month he’d also made headlines for “expressing doubt” about her amid continued controversy over her use of a private e-mail server in her role as secretary of state.

Some at the Denver event didn’t know if Hickenlooper had yet officially endorsed Clinton for president, although he is a clear supporter. The governor himself downplayed such formalities.

The same asshole who rounded up homeless people so they didn't disturb the Democratic elite in 2008? What an endorsement.
