A classic Hickenlooper manoeuvre is to have his cake and eat it too. It was most blatant in his impressively pathetic triangulation around the death penalty that ended up impressing nobody. He doesn't want to sign the gun control bills, but he just ends up signing them anyway. He doesn't really actively endorse marijuana legalisation, but isn't opposed to it just yet, or maybe he is? He even held off endorsing marriage equality, even after it became absurdly uncontroversial, IIRC.
He has that common "moderate" disease of being petrified someone, somewhere will dislike taking a particular stance. No wonder he's gained the Chickenlooper moniker...
