More from Roy Romer

New Obama supporter Roy Romer on morning conference call:

On the race:

"The math is controlling... This race, I believe, is over."

It is "the time for the party to unfiy, to get beyond the primary season, and to begin the general election."

"The more everyone knows about where the superdelegates are, the better decisions we're going to make."

"All superdelegates would help the party by making that known as quickly as they can."

On Obama:

“As I watched the campaign unfold, it was obvious that there was a different kind of winning possibility that Sen. Obama was presenting to this party.”

On Obama's prospects in the west:

"The west is ripe for his candidacy." "I dont think Colorado is the same state it was 20 years ago."

On handling Michigan/Florida:

"There needs to be a penalty for not following the rules... You can't just excuse that."

"The party has to set rules, and hte party has to have some control over the timing of primaires."

"We have to find a compromise, and I think this party will."
