Three reasons Bill Ritter will win in November (if we all aren't dead by then)
Presenting today's reasons why Democratic nominee Bill Ritter will be Colorado's next governor:
1. Because he has a handy lead in the polls and in fundraising. And 16% of voters already have a "very unfavorable" opinion of his opponent, Both Ways Bob Beauprez.
2. Because Both Ways Bob just tried a fundraiser with Ann Coulter and netted zero dollars. Apparently there aren't many hate speech fans in the square state.
3. Because if Ritter doesn't win, we are all in big trouble. Thanks partially to years of pollution and policies that favor the oil and concrete industries, Colorado's ozone levels have soared this summer. The Rocky Mountain News reports:
Until this week, ozone levels hadn't reached consistently high levels. But on the eve of a scorching weekend, Regional Air Quality Council Executive Director Ken Lloyd said that might change...
Colorado air-pollution regulators wary of the ozone levels are focusing attention on growing oil and gas activity in Weld and Adams counties northeast of Denver. Those operations leak compounds into the air that regulators believe push up ozone levels.
Recent figures suggest levels of ozone-forming compounds from those oil and gas fields in 2007 will be more than 60 percent above projections.
Colorado needs a new energy economy. Soon, too. I'd like to be able to go outdoors at some point.

And, if Colorado history is any type of indicator, a gubernatorial candidate that has this much of a lead this late in the campaign has NEVER lost. Barring any unforeseen, freakish circumstances (knock on wood), Bill Ritter WILL be the next Governor of Colorado.
