From the Durango Herald:

Attorney General John Suthers also should be retained. Suthers says his strengths are that he is both a good lawyer and a good manager. And there is scant evidence to the contrary.

That he signed on to a constitutional challenge to the health-care reform bill seems unnecessary and partisan, but his explanation – that he is charged with defending federalism – is plausible. In any case, filing such “amicus” briefs is common practice.

Charges that he is weak on consumer protection have gained little traction. Prosecutions of consumer and white-collar crimes are up under Suthers.

The best reason to re-elect him, however, is political. The next governor will need to make massive budget cuts, which likely include cuts to prison spending. Who better to ensure those do not threaten public safety than a law-and-order guy like Suthers?
