Denver County Assembly, part 1: Quotes
Senator Ken Salazar: "We need to bring an end to the legacy of George Bush."Mayor John Hickenlooper: "We don't have to accept the things we've been accepting. We can address a problem like homelessness and we can end it."
Secretary of state candidate Ken Gordon: "This is an all hands on deck moment. The American people, in their fury, will rise up with their vote and smite this administration."
State Senator Andrew Romanoff: "We inherited a mess and we changed it. We inherited a fiscal catastrophe and we fixed it. We faced a crisis in higher education and we saved it. We saw the disgrace of children standing in line for social services and we are ending it."
There were also great speeches from Congresswoman Diana DeGette, attorney general candidate Fern O'Brien and gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter.
Ritter, who had seemed a bit awkward the first time I met him, has come into his own, and his fiery, populist speech brought the crowd to its feet.

Yeppers, Ritter gets better and better every time I hear him speak. However, I knew from the first time in our HD meeting that he'll be great as Governor.
Gordon and Romanoff said the exact same things at the Arapahoe County Assembly. Imagine that.
And Dan Slater of DemNotes offered the counterpart to the Republicans being a part of the culture of corruption. He said Democrats are part of the culture of community. It's hard to come up with good catchphrases.
