Crazy news from the Rocky Mountain state. From the Denver Post:
Gov. Bill Ritter is planning an 11 a.m. press conference Wednesday at which he is expected to announce that he will withdraw from the race for governor, numerous sources close to Ritter confirmed tonight.
The governor's office made calls to the Colorado Senate president and Speaker of the House to ask about their availability to attend the press conference.
At the same time, Washington, D.C. blogs were reporting that Ritter would drop out of the race for governor
While this is just another "open" seat for Dems to defend, this is probably good news
