Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter pledged his support tonight as a  
superdelegate to presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
"I'm proud to pledge my support to Sen. Barack Obama to become the  
next President of the United States of America," Gov. Ritter said.  
"Sen. Obama offers a strong sense of hope and promise for our  
country's future. His success at inspiring people from all walks of  
life, his commitment to the need for education and health-care reform,  
and his sense of independence and purpose make him appealing to  
Coloradans and other Westerners. He understands the promise of a New  
Energy Economy, of opportunity for all, of building a strong economy  
for our children. He is the best person to help Americans and  
Coloradans achieve their God-given potential, and I am proud to  
endorse him."
