Shades of Vanilla

Are you a tentative John Hickenlooper voter who finds him not quite your shade of bland vanilla whiteness but still demands to vote for a bland vanilla white Colorado politico? This is your lucky day!
Michael Bennet, the moderate, studious Democratic senator from Colorado known for his work on education and immigration reform, announced his candidacy for president on Thursday.
He joins a field so packed with candidates that it now includes six of his colleagues in the Senate and his former boss, John Hickenlooper, a past governor of Colorado.
“I think this country faces two enormous challenges,” he said in an interview on “CBS This Morning.” “One is a lack of economic mobility and opportunity for most Americans, and the other is the need to restore integrity to our government.”
