Ritter picks up Teamsters endorsement
To my knowledge, I've known exactly one Teamster in my entire life. But they pop up on The Simpsons fairly regularly, so I know they're important. Bill Ritter, a Democratic candidate for governor, just announced that he has been endorsed by the Colorado Council of Teamsters.
Apparently, Ritter was union worker at one point. The news release states, "Ritter himself was a member of Laborers Local 720 more than 20 years ago working his way through college and law school as a pipelayer."
With all the politicians and organizations endorsing Bill Ritter, you wonder if anybody is going to be around to get on the Hickenlooper bandwagon if and when he declares. Then again, I haven't the slightest idea what organizations endorsed Mares or Hickenlooper in the last mayoral race. After all, it is the voters that pull the levers on Election Day.
UPDATE: Coloradopols has some insight on how much the endorsement really means.
