2008 Convention Host Committee, Ritter launch sites
DemNotes points to the Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee's new site. Looks great. Although I found it a bit ironic that the committee is being co-chaired by a Beauprez-backer.
Who'll be accepting our party's nomination? Six months ago, the field of Democratic contenders looked almost impossibly rich. Then Gov. Mark Warner and Senator Russ Feingold bowed out. Right now, I'm leaning towards John Edwards. But Andrew Sullivan got me thinking about whether Edwards is the right guy to manage the foreign policy and budget disasters that George Bush will bequeath to the next president. So I'm leaving room for Evan Bayh or Al Gore.
Anyway, while I'm linking, the site for Bill Ritter's inauguration will be coloradopromise.org. Eventually.

I really wish Gore would run again. But I don't think he will.
Anybody but Hilary for the love of God.
One name jumped out at me from the list of Host Committee members: Rita Bass Coors. I don't know who this person is, but of course the name Coors seems WAY out of place in any Democratic party organization or function. Anyone know who this is?
I believe Rita Bass Coors is related to that Coors family. But I think she is a prominent philanthropist and Dem donor. Some Googling indicated she has donated to Salazar and maybe even Perlmutter.
I found a Google cache of an old page that reads:
Salazar campaigns in Durango
By Patricia Miller
Herald Staff Writer
Bill Coors, the paterfamilias of the brewing family, and his wife, Rita Bass Coors, contributed $8,000 to Democratic Attorney General Ken Salazar in his race for the U.S. Senate. That was before they learned that their Republican nephew, Peter Coors, would be Salazar's opponent in the race to replace the retiring Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
Salazar offered the couple their money back, but they told him he could keep it, Salazar said Monday night at a fund-raiser in the West Second Avenue garden of Lucy and Tom Shipps.
vote is definitely for Al Gore. He has the experience and the knowledge for the job.
Rita Bass Coors is the wife of Bill Coors. She is and, as far as I know, always been a Democrat. She's also my aunt.
Anon, thanks for confirming that. And thanks to Rita Bass Coors for helping land the convention!
Winner Take All:
Perhaps you know not that the very same thirty-six million votes,
including nine million spoilers and all, cast from January to June
that gave Obama about 150 delegate margin under the rule of
proportional allocation, the very same votes give Clinton 600 delegate
margin under the rule of Winner Take All as Republican Party have it.
Same republic, same voters, same votes and yet rule maker decides if
one nominee is 150 delegates ahead or on the contrary the other
nominee is 600 delegates ahead. Perhaps you do not see the foot prints
of Karl Rove outside the window of RBC, Democratic Rules and Bylaws
Committee. Good for your sanity if you don’t.
