More good news for Bill Ritter

GOP primary contender Marc Holtzman, isn't. Not only did he get busted for violating campaign finance law, he missed the ballot by 724 signatures.

There ain't no quit in Holtzman, though. The Denver Post reports that Holtzman plans to take his case all the way to the Supreme Court of Colorado, if necessary. So, you know, our tax dollars are going to be paying for that.

Putting Holtzman's campaign in the past tense is a good sign for our state. An even better one is this Post story:
