Yep, Hickenlooper sounds just like Mitt Romney. But I’ll take the DEM bench over the GOP bench any day, look at the goofballs that you cheered during the primaries as an example. Hickenlooper is not going to be the DEM nominee in 2016, mark my words on that.

Of course. Asking a governor to give a speech at a convention a few years in a row is terrible and shows that the Party has no bench, no future.  For instance, Ronald Reagan’s speech at the 1964 GOP convention and the 1976 GOP convention pretty much doomed his career as a politician demonstrating conclusively that he had no future in American politics.
