Dem Legislator Edward Vigil on Party’s Likely Nominee: “What the Hick?”

Some Right-leaning bloggers have raised concerns that the likely new Democratic nominee for Colorado governor — Denver mayor John Hickenlooper — may be too liberal to win a statewide election.

But it took fellow Democrat state lawmaker Edward Vigil to question Hickenlooper’s familiarity with rural Colorado and ask: “What the Hick is going for governor? Does he know there is a rural Colorado? Has he been past Colorado Springs?”

I’m not exactly taking notes here. It’s not like the thought hadn’t crossed anyone else’s mind. But sometimes discerning observations speak more loudly when you consider the source.
