From the DenverPost.com:
Dan Slater, we hardly knew you. Those two weeks you were in the attorney general’s race flew by so quickly, your candidacy never really stuck.
And now you’re gone, saying that “fire in the belly” you had when you ran for the state Senate in 2002 is missing. “I don’t have it,” Slater said in a blast e-mail to supporters Monday, announcing he no longer is seeking the Democratic nomination.
The Las Animas native said he wasn’t ready to put his “family and finances” under the 13-month strain of a campaign. He also said campaigning was diverting him from his duties as vice chairman of the state Democratic Party.
