New Group Goes To Bat For Ritter

• by: Colorado Pols

You’ve probably seen this ad already, started yesterday with pretty good circulation:

“Colorado’s On The Move” is reportedly a 501(c)4 organization, so enjoy the guessing game on who’s paying for this, but the ad plays up one of Gov. Bill Ritter’s to-the-bank issues (The deep-pocketed New Energy Economy™). And we’d actually not realized Forbes rates Colorado the “4th best state for business”–you mean Ritter didn’t drive business out of the state Zimbabwe-style?

It’s also interesting to see an ad being run for a candidate more than a year out from the election. This is the first time we can remember television ads for, really, anybody in Colorado going on the air so far out from Election Day.

Seriously, this ad makes us want to buy stock and hug our kids. It’s morning in Colorado.
