The Rocky Mountain News editorial staff has endorsed Bill Ritter for governor (as we predicted). From the editorial, "Bill Ritter for governor. Yes, you heard right. We believe that the former Denver district attorney, despite his inexperience outside the law enforcement realm, is the better of two good candidates running for Colorado's top job. True, our endorsement today is a bit of a gamble given Ritter's limited experience. It could even turn out to be a major mistake. But based on the Bill Ritter we've known over the years and watched on the campaign trail, we don't think that's likely. It will be an error only if Ritter himself proves to be a reckless liar, and we've seen no evidence for that being the case. To the contrary, while there are many unknowns regarding Ritter, the state of his integrity is not one of them. We've followed his career since his appointment as Denver DA in 1993, and he has shown himself to be a person who means what he says, with little of the ducking and spinning that characterizes many politicians."
