The Democratic Party is FINALLY (once again) a LIBERAL political party.

64. Nice observations.

You're right that Hick is the most conservative. He really didn't have much to do with marijuana legalization. It passed as an initiative, where the people directly voted on it. Hickenlooper actually actively opposed legalization.

In addition, when big oil came into the state in a big way to 'play' the Niobrara shale formation in the north and central parts of Colorado's front range, Hick had the oil companies help the state set regulations for fracking. The local governments were naturally a bit skeptical and imposed their own regulations. Hick had the state send cease and desist orders to the locals, saying that the state's regulatory structure was enough. It wasn't.

He actually stood up behind a podium one time and drank a glass of clear liquid he claimed was fracking fluid to demonstrate how 'safe' it is to the people of Colorado. I called his office and said if they wanted me to believe the stuff he drank was actually fracking fluid, they should film him driving to a recently fracked site and have him slurp up some of the backwash.

Fracking isn't a joke and it isn't safe. Fracking fluid is corrosive, like battery acid, and it is mixed with water that can never be used again. Colorado is arid, and it takes five million gallons of water to frack one well one time. A well drilled into a shale formation must be fracked repeatedly to squeeze out the oil.

As a Coloradan, I'm just not for Hickenlooper at all. Not at all. And that is based on what I saw of him as governor. And don't get me wrong. He isn't evil or anything. He is just is too conservative for me.

Now, Bennet? He's also a bit to the center. He was the superintendent of Denver Public Schools, and then I believe he was appointed to the US Senate seat he now holds by virtue of being elected. He's OK. But, as you can see, I'm supporting Warren, with Kamala Harris a close second.
