Ritter is the best choice we have for the general. The fact that the left-wing is apprehensive about his candidacy underscores this.
I love Andrew. He’d make an awesome governor but, frankly, he’s not as winnable as Ritter.
Joan’s a terrible choice for about 3,000,000 reasons. If Dems rally behind her, we’re cutting our own throat.
that was my first cherry-poppin post…. BLAD-OW!
Only 8 more weeks til election 2005. After that Fitz-Gerald and Romanoff will both likely make some more definitive announcements about their future.
And the labor folks know what’s going on with the Governor’s race just as much as anyone else. They know there is a collectively held breath by Dems until Nov 1st.
Any organization who endorses Ritter before that time has to be an organization that had no intention of endorsing anyone else to begin with.
Congrats and welcome RZA!
THe reason Romanoff is indecisive is that he is a very indecisive person. Can’t make up his mind on legislative priorities, on negotiation tactics, and on whether to run statewide. So, the state is seeing what we all have been seeing since the House Democrats made the (in hindsight) weak decision to keep him in charge. He was a great minority leader, but he’s no ready for majority leadership. And he would be a bloody disaster as the Governor.
Joan is going to smoke Ritter! Run Joan Run!
Andrew needs to realize that the Yes On C campaign ain’t doing him one little bit of good.
The commercials have Bill Owens mug on them not his. Andrew the second highest official in the State of Colorado is giving speeches to a dozen
hacks in some hamlet in the middle of nowhere. Sir Romanoff needs to decide does he want to be Governor or admired for his wit by Insiders.
Labor and other key groups are not going to wait.
Ritter has a good record on labor issues and they see no reason to wait while Romanoff and Fitz-Gerald auditon for the role of Hamlet
The idea isn’t to smoke Ritter. The idea is for Joan to smoke Beauprez. And she will – run, Joan, run!
Just curious, are most of the Joan supporters poor writers because few of them have an education outside “Joey’s School of Custodial Arts” or “Uncle Paulie’s Acadamy of Union Thuggery”?
With Labor’s track record over the last three election cycles, I don’t think anyone gives a shit if they endorse Ritter…
Wu Tang Killa Bees, we on a swarm!
Andrew is the most disciplined politician in Colorado and a brilliant campaigner who has bet his political life on C and D, because he know that Democrats can accomplish nothing without them. He is also stunningly young and certain to continue to be re-elected indefinitely from his district until he is term limited, and almost certain to win any primary to the State Senate after that. Andrew can afford to bide his time, and knows that his inexperience makes him less than the idle candidate to run for Governor yet.
Fitz-Gerald is a more logical choice, although someone other than an elected official could easily emerge as well.
Given the current right wing efforts of both Holtzman and Beauprez, the left wing antics and bizarre behavior of Fitz-Gerald, and the indecisiveness of Romanoff, and the fact that almost everyone seems to think those are the only options, isn’t Ritter the nominee by default. Get on the BANDWAGON people, Bill is the most sensible and electable person out there, he is steady, focused, smart and a hard worker. If the Dems continue to kill themselves over choice then they deserve either one of the nuts on the R side.
