Reply #2: Yes, he ran for Mayor and was elected [View All]

I believe he served two terms. He is what I consider a conservative Democrat, unlike Dick Lamm, who was a little wacko, but VERY liberal. In his second term Webb was accused and pretty much proved to be guilty of cronyism. He gave no-bid contracts away like candy during the construction of DIA. He also gave very high paying jobs to friends and relatives. If I remember rightly, he appointed his step-son to a government position, despite the fact he was a low-life who did absolutely nothing. The Denver Post/ Rocky Mountain news probably have some archived articles regarding these accusations. Webb did do some good things during his term, but I can't get over the cronyism. I have already written the DNC regarding his nomination and Tim Roemer's nomination for DNC chair. So far, I'm backing Dean. He doesn't have such glaring deficiencies in his record as far as I can tell.
