Ritter focuses on common concerns of Hispanics, all voters

By Mike Saccone | Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 10:56 AM

DENVER — Gov. Bill Ritter, in his comments today to a gathering of the Democratic Party’s Hispanic Caucus, focused on the common concerns of the public and the Hispanic community.

He said he does not view Hispanics as a unified bloc at the polls but rather as a group of Americans concerns about problems facing the country as a whole.

Ritter said, for example, that all Americans agree that health care and poverty are two areas that the country needs to work harder to confront.

Ritter also took the time to emphasize, in his comments before the Hispanic Caucus, that supporters of Hillary Clinton need to get behind Barack Obama.
