Bill Ritter strikes back
Just got the following release from Bill Ritter's office. And its honest, take-no-prisoners attitude demonstrates what I like about Ritter, even though I differ from him on a couple issues:
"Bill Ritter, the leading Democratic candidate for governor, today issued the following statement regarding ongoing speculation about the gubernatorial race:
"'I'm in this race for the long haul regardless of who else may or may not get in,' said Ritter, who named Colorado Children's Campaign president Barbara O'Brien as his lieutenant governor running mate two weeks ago. 'We're committed to leading Colorado to a better place and creating hope and opportunity for all Coloradans.'
"'I hope Mayor Hickenlooper remains in office and finishes the job he started,' Ritter added. 'Regardless of his final decision, I remain focused on talking with Coloradans from every corner of this state and reclaiming the governor's office for Democrats.'
"Ritter, 49, was appointed by then-Gov. Roy Romer as Denver district attorney in 1993. Ritter was elected three times after that and served until January 2005. He recently left his job with the law firm of Hogan & Hartson to campaign full time. O'Brien also is resigning her job at the Children's Campaign to join the Ritter ticket."
