While the Republican Party is wringing its hands over the damaged candidates they have running in the Primary, the Democratic Party is celebrating the choice Hickenlooper made for Lt. Governor. It was a smart choice, and should enhance Hickenlooper’s already strong probability of winning.
Joe Garcia is a Harvard trained attorney, a former regulator, an education supporter. What Hickenlooper brings in business, Garcia brings in education. The two biggest problems facing Colorado are getting small businesses back in the saddle and figuring out how to pay for a decent education for all Coloradans. If any two guys can get the job done, it is Hick and Garcia.
Meanwhile, back at the Republican Ranch, Dick Wadhams, Chair of the CO GOP, is grousing that Garcia needs to quit his day job if he is going to run for office. Amusing--Is that the only criticism he could find? Garcia is a highly respected Latino college president with an enviable track record, both academic and professional. And he’s Latino. Take THAT, Tom Tancredo.
Garcia is giving up his $200,000 a year job for a $68,000 a year job that serves the people. That is what citizen government is all about--citizens with skills, stepping up to the plate when their skills are needed in government.
Personally, I can’t wait to see who the Republicans come up with for both Lt. Governor and Governor. Given the damaged goods they’ve produced for the top of the ticket, I can’t imagine who would give up a $200,000 day job to work with a word thief, or a “successful businessman” with a business that earns $11,000 in a year and who thinks that red bicycles in Denver are a plot to enslave Americans.
