Ritter supports Bennet : Rendell supports Specter

Ritter just emailed everyone about his support for Michael Bennet:

Michael has only served for a short time, but he has already earned a reputation in Colorado and in Washington as a serious, thoughtful and straightforward public servant.

This is not surprising because no matter what the context — business, government, or public education — Michael has built a long record of success, of doing big things, of not shrinking from hard choices or entrenched interests. We don’t need to tell you that we need more of that in Washington.

hey team Ritter,

when your polling numbers are in the low 40’s and your disapproval rating is in the 50’s, you might think twice about giving your support to someone you want to help.

Also, I would not label yourself as ‘fighting the DC interests’ when the perception is that you are fairly new to Colorado Dems and actually from DC circles. And is the reputation that Bennet has earned a good one? If it is so good, why are fellow dems like Perlmutter and DeGette staying neutral?

Let’s face it, Ritter is in the tank polling wise, and he has been on the air with statements like this

“I could have appointed Andrew, and it would have been better for me politically to have done that because he had sort of a longer history in Colorado politics,” he said.

ya think?

If your goal is to help Bennet, you might want to rethink your strategy instead of talking about what would have been better for you politically, because this looks like it is all being about saving your political credibility, not helping Bennet’s.

FYI – PA Governor Ed Rendell supports Arlen Specter over Joe Sestak even though the tide has turned on him and Specter.

Support Romanoff here, and make your voice heard.
