2009: Bill Ritter inching closer to being Al Gore | Rocky Mountain Right

Remember how Al Gore went nuts after he lost the 2000 presidential election? How he suddenly went crazy for the climate change agenda and grew a weird looking beard? I predict this is what Bill Ritter is positioning himself to do after he loses reelection. He seems consumed with climate change and ending the use of fossil fuels.
