This issue could really come back to bite Ritter. I wonder if Skaggs vetted this with Ritter’s staff before going public with it?

Ritter has not denied Skaggs’ comments that I have seen.

Therefore one can logically conclude that Ritter supports them ( even if Skagg’s did not vet them ). I doubt that Ritter can plead ignorance of the comments now. Plausible deniability is fading fast for Ritter.

My guess is that Ritter is using Skaggs’ comments as a test for public reaction. Ritter seems strong enough to say that he disagrees, if he did disagree.

Hopefully, this mess will explode in 2008.
