This is not really a diary...
I'll be lucky to choke out a few paragraphs...
But I've waited all year to type that title. <sniff>
Y'all please say hello to the brand new GOVERNOR OF COLORADO, John Hickenlooper!
And while you're at it, say howdy to Joe Garcia, Colorado's brand new Lt. Governor!
I'll tell you a secret little known fact about John Hickenlooper's campaign strategy, perhaps the deciding factor in his victory.
He didn't run one single negative ad.
He never mentioned his opponents.
He appeared in all of his campaign ads.
<smile> (Some of them were downright silly.)
At the end of the day, people felt like they knew John Hickenlooper, and that they could trust him to run our state.
Howdy, Governor. In a night filled with sadness you've put a smile on my face. ♥
