The day after: Part one
Bob Beauprez's concession speech was classy and heartfelt and honest. Quoted in the Post:
"As devoted citizens of this great state, we should all wish Bill Ritter the very best because the best for Bill Ritter will be the best for Colorado..."
The story of Bill Ritter should by all rights be the story of this election. Colorado stands on the brink of enormous budget and healthcare challenges. We need a governor with character and vision. By rising above poverty and politics, Ritter proved he can be that leader.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever be able to think about last night without remembering thousands of disgruntled Denver voters waiting for hours. Who knows how many people left the polls yesterday without casting their ballot? Who knows what effect that may have had on Ken Gordon's race? On Cary Kennedy's race?
I'll have a post up later today with a more thorough rundown of what the election results mean for Colorado. In the meantime you can listen to the podcasts of me on Jay Marvin's show live from the Democratic party last night.

I really wish we could have put Holtzman up, but oh well. We shall be triumphant again one day. As for Jay Marvin.. his name send chills up my spine. I shall remain faithfull to his Chicago ex-cohost. That guy gives me the creeps..
Congrats to your party.
Correction: As of now, 760 only has select segments up from last night's show. My segments are not among them. Should've checked first.
