Speed rally: 1 of 3
Democratic candidate for governor Rill Ritter spoke today on the steps of the state capitol. Overall, I would say the theme of his speech was unity. Ritter was flanked by House Speaker Andrew Romanoff and a dozen or more Colorado legislators who came out to show their support for our party's best chance to capture the governor's mansion in November. Ritter also spoke about renewable energy and promised - he accentuated the word promise - to make it a focus of his tenure in office.In the crowd, I spoke with CD7 candidate Herb Rubenstein, who just seems to keep popping up in the same places I do. He has endorsed the Ritter campaign. Various staffers and reporters were also milling about.
UPDATE: A press release I just got from the Ritter camp quotes Senate President Joan Fitz-Gerald: "What you see behind me is a unified Democratic Party that is unified behind Bill Ritter and Barbara O'Brien."

Ya. Herb...
He thinks that in showing up everywhere for everything he becomes electable. I am surprized he doesn't just wear a t-shirt that says "LOOK AT ME!"
Sorry Herb, but you're more like an annoying fly at a picnic.
Now, where'd I leave that damn fly swatter?
I can't see inside Herb's head. But I think his thought process is more like, "I know I'm new, so I need to make the rounds, introduce myself to people and reach out to the community."
Today was Pro-Choice day at the capitol. Overall, I counted more numbers with them then the other campaigns.
Does that mean anything this early in the season?
I'm not sure, but...
