John Hickenlooper is running as himself. (Uh-oh)

[Byronic]

Below is quite a lengthy, warts-and-all, perfectly fair assessment of John Hickenlooper and his candidacy that appeared on Politico last week. Whether it is possible to be genuinely authentic, run as yourself, and still do well, is a reasonable question to pose.

A two-term governor of a purple state, who had to govern with a Republican legislature; a two-term mayor of a major city; a successful entrepreneur; a geologist, who brings a scientific mindset to problem solving; a man who made the shortlist for Hillary's vice-presidential nominee. It is an impressive resume, with a wealth of experience that dwarfs that of many of the more touted candidates in the race.

But in today's race, and today's climate, does he have a shot?
