labor groups to threaten to withdraw support from the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Wouldn't it be rich if the Dims had to confront union pickets at Pepsi Center during their convention???

This whole affair seems to indicate Ritter is still a junior varsity politician. As titular party leader, he should have been able to work behind the scenes with his legislative leaders to make sure he would never have had to veto a bill to turn Colorado into a closed union shop state. Of course, the newbie Dim leaders in the legislature should never have put Ritter in that situation. Neither group seems ready for prime time.
