The Denver Post looks at the current state of the governor's race today [June 12, 2005, "Hitting the trail running"]. From the article, "(Congressman Bob) Beauprez is the anointed candidate of key Republicans. But opponent Marc Holtzman, a former investment banker and outgoing president of the University of Denver, leads the GOP field in fundraising. Former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis hasn't yet decided whether to formalize a campaign he's been talking about for months. Among Democrats, entrepreneur Rutt Bridges kicked off his gubernatorial bid this month. The announcement was made during a private party at his home, and he has yet to publicly articulate any platform. His only announced competition is former Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter. Ritter is popular and more politically experienced. But his pockets are far shallower, and he is expected to face fierce opposition from abortion and civil-rights activists."

This begs the question, "Why would I want to start a blog?" Greensborough, North Carolina City Councilman Don Vaughn answers, by way of a quote on Ed Cones' weblog, "Blogs have become an important part of my decision making process...It's interesting to note that I did not get any response to my blog on Wal-Mart, but the News and Record did pick up and run a few paragraphs at the end of a story the next day quoting the blog -- As an elected official, it did help me to 'put my thoughts' together in a blog while I was tackling the Wal-Mart issue."
