1. Hickenlooper was, until January, the twice-elected Governor of a not insignificant State.

2. His Uncle Bourke was Governor and Senator from Iowa, giving him a measure of name recognition in the early Iowa Caucus.

3. I know many of the funders and political consultants he's reaching out to, which tells me he's building a solid support network.

I'm under no illusion that Hickenlooper will likely be a front-runner, but his I see value in promoting Democcrats that have shown political strength in Purple States and especially in "flyover country" as opposed to the traditional coastal Blue States. And his electoral experience still puts him miles ahead of a businessman with no political engagement at all.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
