On the morning after the first round of Denver's mayoral race, the campaign of leader Chris Romer revealed some strategy for the June runoff.
According to Wednesday's Post, the campaign will focus on Romer's business experience and his work with the nation's largest banks, crafting complex bond deals. Mention was made of deals worth more than $10 billion.
Well, that experience could indeed be of great value in these tough financial times, but that political strategy could cost him the runoff election.
The three-way, first-round finish was very tight. Romer's edge over the fast-closing Michael Hancock was slim. And the only way Romer can win the runoff is basically to get out on the street and win over as many of James Mejia's third-place voters as Hancock.
I don't think a campaign focused on financial expertise will do that.
Romer already has in his pocket the Denverites whose votes are swayed by banking and bond issues. What he needs are the votes of Denverites who are concerned about getting and keeping good steady jobs, getting equal and open access to city services, having safe streets and neighborhoods and, in particular, getting fair treatment from Denver police.
He's got Seventeen Street and Montview Boulevard. He needs to score in near east Denver and the west side. Or else.
