Hick now should support ritter. The last thing you want right now is to split the party.
Every time there is a primary there is a threat that we will “split” the party. This simply doesn’t happens. We are Democrats, not Republicans, and we can have primaries to pick our best without self-destructing.
Even in 2004 when the leadership of the party chose sides in the US Senate race and the candidate they sided against was treated rather unfairly, we came out that election with control of the legislature and one more conressional seat. We corrected what problem there was by changing the leadership.
As long as the party leadership follows thru on their promise of neutrality, we can have very constructive primaries.
From a media point of view I think it best that there be a Dem primary for Gov. If not, the GOP will get all of the media attention during the months leading up to the primary and the Dem candidate will be rarely mentioned until after all the free publicity for the GOP.

ROFL… thanks, I needed the laugh.
?Leadership is what Bill Ritter is all about,? said Ray Kogovsek of Pueblo, who served 10 years in the state legislature and 10 years in Congress. ?He?s thoughtful, he?s compassionate and he?s articulate. There?s a tired old phrase ? either lead or get out of the way. Bill Ritter is the kind of leader we?ll never have to ask to get out of the way.?
……………
On the other hand, if Mr. Hickenlooper enters the race (as some here are predicting), will Mr. Ritter then be asked to ‘get out of the way’ ?
I wish what Dan said was true. But it reminds me of that old Mo Udall joke. How do you recoginze a Democratic firing squad: They line up in a circle.
While maybe not total self-destruction, I would point to the Salazar/Miles rift as an example.

No but you are pitting some of the stars of the party ( IE Jennifer Veiga VS Salazar) It will just cause infighting once it is over. Well you supported Ritter and not me… Sorry your bill will sit on my desk for awhile
Wow –Ritter got his first REPUBLICAN endorsement with Paula Sandoval’s support. Good for him; he is already showing that he has crossover appeal.

Sandoval is a Democrat

ritter has no clue south of hampden or west of sheridan–and besides–my wife doesn’t like him
Is it right that Ritter is moving into Sen. Salazar’s old campaign office? Doesn’t he know that Salazar is pushing Hick to run?
Ritter moved into Salazar’s old office last week. Im not sure that it matters, but that will be one huge wast of a quality campaign HQ once Hick jumps in the race. 😛
