Hickenlooper rides the Denver Post train

A few days ago the Denver Post had a big photo prominently displayed of its publisher, Dean Singleton, along with his adult son, the Post CEO, and Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. They were all aboard the Post train to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for the annual Frontier Days rodeo. I tried unsuccessfully to find that photo on-line. I thought it would be a perfect analogy of this year's race for Colorado governor. My headline would be Hickenlooper rides Denver Post train to victory.

The Denver Post does not like Tom Tancredo. They have been working their page two political columnist overtime (seemingly a column every day now) sarcastically trying to belittle Tancredo and make him look like a fool or a villain or anything else that will stick.

Meanwhile, Hickenlooper rides in the private car with the Post publisher and executives, hoping that will be the surest way to get to the state capitol, and also hoping to avoid any questions. It is not going to work. We the people are a bit stirred up. We ain't buying the bull anymore (to use a good rodeo term).
