Rill Ritter – Colorado’s Democratic Governor — Won’t Run Again

Wow. Surprising news. (Democrats (think Dorgan) are dropping like flies.)
Obama might want to take a look at what happened to Ritter: He had a huge base of progressive support but he governed like a DINO. He lost the Democratic base while he tried to be all things to all people. He pissed off unions, teachers and environmentalists but he made the corporate community happy with the appointment of Michael Bennet to replace Ken Salazar. As a result, nobody trusts him because nobody knows what he stands for.
He won’t be missed. A Republican would be worse but maybe not all that much, which is where the Democratic party is these days.
