Powerful Democrat Bridges hoping to build a better state

[El Supremo]

When Democrats take control of both houses of Colorado's legislature next week, they have Rutt Bridges largely to thank.

<snip>

One factor affecting his decision (to run for Governor)is who else might seek the Democratic nomination. He said he would step aside for Udall, a more seasoned politician.

1. I Like This Guy

I like that he made millions and is satisfied w/ the money he's made and states he doesn't need anymore. He came from a poor background and reminds me of a big teddy bear type, rough around the edges. Completely different than the pitiful pansy we've got now as governor.

2. Smart guy.

I saw him at a celebration for Salazar after he won the election. I hope we can continue to do this.

3. "wants to re-create CO government to be more compassionate,

efficient and responsive to the public. As compared to Owens who wants the opposite.

4. Rutt is a great guy

I hope he runs. I think he'd have a better shot than Udall.
