It seems that Hickenlooper has more cross-over appeal in this purple state. Before recent events, I'd be worried that Romanoff might turn off more moderate voters. Now, I'm guessing (hoping) that we have enough tailwinds to carry either one.

I don't know exactly what the ethics issues are with Hickenlooper. It does strike me as a bit of opportunism by Republicans up to their usual dirty tricks.

An argument in Romanoff's favor is he seems to be the choice of establishment Dems in the state. I'm kind of leaning that way, but really need to think about it before I commit. Most important is defeating the odious Cory Gardner (ugh). All else is secondary.
