Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: RIP Robert H Bork on April 17, 2011, 04:44:37 PM Is Chris Romer related to Roy Romer (former Colorado governor)?
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on April 17, 2011, 05:12:07 PM He's Roy Romer's son. He's in the State Senate.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: redcommander on April 17, 2011, 08:50:25 PM Is there any Republicans in the race?
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Tender Branson on April 18, 2011, 12:57:49 AM I'm guessing, by the racial breakdown, that Mejia is the Hispanic candidate, Hancock is the black candidate, and Romer is the white candidate? You guessed correctly. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Landslide Lyndon on April 18, 2011, 01:29:24 AM Romer's support is actually quite balanced.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on April 18, 2011, 07:53:01 AM Is there any Republicans in the race? A little research suggests that Carol Boigon may be a closet Republican. The rest appear to be Democrats. Edit: Boigon dropped out and endorsed Hancock, so the answer is now no. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on May 03, 2011, 09:34:18 PM Primary is today:
http://www.denverpost.com/denverpolitics Looks like Romer will make it to the runoff, while Hancock has a slight lead over Mejia for the second slot. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Meeker on May 03, 2011, 09:38:37 PM That site doesn't seem to give % reporting. Annoying.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on May 03, 2011, 09:42:47 PM I believe turnout was expected to be about 100,000 votes. Most of the votes were reported immediately, thanks to Colorado's heavy emphasis on vote-by-mail now.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on May 04, 2011, 07:36:35 AM Romer and Hancock are going to the runoff; Romer won 28.7%, Hancock 27.0%, and Mejia 25.7%.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Badger on May 04, 2011, 10:21:51 AM Romer and Hancock are going to the runoff; Romer won 28.7%, Hancock 27.0%, and Mejia 25.7%. Predictions? Which way is Mejia's (presumably heavily Hispanic) vote share likely to go? Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on May 04, 2011, 10:39:06 AM I can't say I've followed this race closely enough; from what little I know, I'd say Romer would be a slight favorite in the runoff.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: California8429 on May 04, 2011, 03:44:03 PM Romer is the favorite in this runoff, though Hancock still could win. Neighborhoods all pretty much voted for one mayoral candidate 100%. Driving through Denver 20 houses would be Hancock and nothing else then 5 minutes later 30 houses of Mejia yard signs.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Associate Justice PiT on May 13, 2011, 04:17:48 PM Romer and Hancock are going to the runoff; Romer won 28.7%, Hancock 27.0%, and Mejia 25.7%. Predictions? Which way is Mejia's (presumably heavily Hispanic) vote share likely to go? The poll referenced in the initial post suggests that hispanics tend to prefer Romer to Hancock. Whether that includes Mejia-supporting hispanics remains to be seen, of course.

Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Rowan on May 29, 2011, 08:54:24 AM I guess Roemer is the more "Republican" candidate?
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Verily on May 29, 2011, 10:21:02 AM I guess Roemer is the more "Republican" candidate? They're both very much Democrats. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Rowan on May 29, 2011, 11:02:23 AM I guess Roemer is the more "Republican" candidate? They're both very much Democrats. Thanks. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on May 29, 2011, 02:26:19 PM Roemer being more "Republican" in support is kind of a useless figure, Hancock is black, so obviously the black vote goes overwhelmingly to him skewing the Democratic figures in his favor. In 2001 RT Rybak probably seemed to be the more "Republican" candidate for the same reason, his opponent was the black incumbent, who was very unpopular and received not much more than the black vote. Hancock is obviously getting a lot more than just the black vote though.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on June 07, 2011, 04:07:56 PM The runoff is today. Thanks to Colorado's vote-by-mail system, we'll probably know who won within minutes, unless it ends up being really close.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Meeker on June 07, 2011, 08:10:02 PM Hancock wins.
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Ebowed on June 07, 2011, 08:14:28 PM The mayor elect of Denver doesn't have a Wikipedia page what is this
Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: California8429 on June 09, 2011, 11:07:33 PM I guess Roemer is the more "Republican" candidate? They're both very much Democrats. Thanks. However, Hancock said in the debate he supported creationism to be taught in schools along with evolution. Doesn' make him a republican, but less ultra liberal. LOL for Romer. He had Meji's endorsement and blew everything by running a fully negative campaign, his staff quit at the end. A beautiful landslide for the better candidate. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: Joe Republic on June 10, 2011, 05:08:26 AM Quote from: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/28188693/detail.html DENVER -- Prior to the mayoral election, Denver Mayor-elect Michael Hancock repeatedly asked Denver police if he or his vehicle was captured on video or in photographs at locations of an escort service authorities had under surveillance, records obtained Thursday by CALL7 Investigators showed. Hancock's attorney, Bruce James, requested June 3 that the police give him any evidence of Hancock at the escort service at 1675 Fillmore St., and on June 6 he asked that if any information is found about Hancock at other locations for the escort service that it be withheld from media, citing Hancock's privacy. Title: Re: Denver Mayoral Election 2011 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on June 10, 2011, 11:05:03 AM Well, this doesn't sound good (http://www.coloradopols.com/diary/15859/breaking-key-facts-in-hancock-prostitution-scandal-corroborated) for Hancock.
