Here in Colorado, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, the Democratic candidate for governor, has aired his first TV ad. I haven’t given much thought yet to how I’m going to vote in November, but this ad comes as a breath of fresh air in the middle of the meanest political environment I can recall, either locally or nationally. It will be interesting to see if Hick can skate all the way to the governor’s office with ads like this.
