As expected, former governor, Roy Romer, endorsed Bill Ritter yesterday, according to the Rocky Mountain News. From the article, "Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter happily accepted former Gov. Roy Romer's endorsement Sunday afternoon, calling it 'nothing but an eastern Plains blessing.' Appearing in a blue fleece vest, green button-down shirt and jeans, Ritter acknowledged the upbringing he and Romer share - both men grew up in large families in eastern Colorado - as snow fell on the 50 or so people gathered at his Platte Park home in Denver. Romer, who was Democratic governor of Colorado for 12 years, said he chose to endorse Ritter for the same reasons he appointed him as Denver's district attorney in 1993. 'He's a good man,' said the 77-year-old Romer, who plans to step down as superintendent of Los Angeles schools this fall."
