Bill Ritter names senior staffers
According to a press release, Bill Ritter has named the first three senior staff members of his new administration.
Ritter's chief of staff will be Jim Carpenter, who is currently Senator Ken Salazar's state director. Carpenter was Salazar's campaign manager in 2004, and he helped put together the urban-suburban-rural coalition that ensured Salazar's victory.
I've been reluctant to compare the Ritter and Salazar campaigns too closely, even though they both followed the Western pragmatist playbook. But Ritter is obviously paying attention to the steps Salazar has taken to become a popular Senator in Colorado and a major player in Washington DC.
