What a difference eight years makes - or even four, for that matter. Bill Ritter's inauguration as governor on Jan. 9 marks a milestone in a political transformation that seemed unlikely, if not virtually impossible, just a few years ago.

Now, activists and analysts are studying this transformation to see if the Colorado model can be exported to other states, particularly those in the West.
