Former Colorado governor attends party as guest of honor
Ex-Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper meets with potential voters and caucus-goers at the Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday.
DES MOINES – If the idea was for John Hickenlooper to make himself feel comfortable while he made a case for Iowans to support his possible run for the White House, Sunday night was the optimum environment.
First, the former governor was the guest of honor at a house party hosted by a pair of college friends. Then, he toured a local brewery, where he hoisted an IPA and an ale, and poured a few for some customers as well.
Although he flew here from Washington, D.C., and plunged directly into a crowd of more than 100 people at the house party, it was clear that Hickenlooper was jazzed by the encounter.
“I got my rest – I even left a gala event (in Washington) early to make sure,” he said.
