Bill Ritter, Colorado Governor and Democrat

"..we took a different approach this year, we didn't go to New York, we didn't go to Los Angeles.

We came to more of a mid-sized city that's really typical and characteristic of the kind of growth and opportunity we're seeing out here in the West, especially for leaders from our own party. You look at some of the governors we have now, for the Democratic Party, in office in the West, they we're there in 2000. You look at seats in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, on and on, these are all new folks. And they're really representative of the kind of leadership our party is putting forward at all levels."
