Superdelegate Ritter: "I'll vote my preference."

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, who is also a Democratic Party superdelegate, said, "I'll vote my preference" in the presidential nominating race, during an interview aired
Monday on Colorado Public Radio's "Colorado Matters" program.

As the host governor for the convention, to be held in Denver in August, Ritter also said he would remain uncommitted until the convention - unless there is an apparent nominee before then.

Many of the party's superdelegates are under pressure to support either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, depending on which candidate won the primary or caucus vote in the superdelegate's state, congressional district or other political boundary.

Four of the 10 Democratic governors who remain uncommitted are in the Intermountain West. Besides Ritter, they are: Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal.

In the Colorado caucus Feb. 5, Obama beat Clinton handily. She beat him narrowly in the New Mexico caucus on Feb. 5. Wyoming's Democratic caucus is March 8; the Montana Democratic primary is June 3.
