I think John Kerry really likes Colorado. |
|
He is about to come here for the 5th time in 3 months. He does have a connection because he was born here. It is interesting and heartening to see a Democratic Presidential candidate to pay that much attention to this state. Something Gore didn't do and Clinton did better but not this much.

and I am sure he thinks its a nice state, really is a pretty one, my aunt has lived out there since the 70's, plus his strengths on environmental issues could turn out the democratic base out there which I know is quite pro environment.

5. Kerry can push a couple things here... |
|
- the environment is important and followed closely - boulder and more intelligent parts of the front range are rabid kerry supporters on a scale with californians...even independants like myself - the democratic senator (salzar) running against coors has a good lead (9-10%) and a history of winning statewide elections as attorney general, has a strong long term farming connection to colorado, and has strong hispanic support that will help elsewhere (if i remember correctly Salazar could be the first hispanic senator in ~30 years)...pugs don't want to lose this seat - a large part of the military here (a lot in colorado springs) are enlisted and have been or are going into iraq...and they know this situation is FUBAR - even if he loses the state he will likely get some electoral votes as w have Amendment 36 that will likely split the EC votes along popularity lines....
besides I think it is good for other parts of the country to see that he is interested in more than Penn, Ohio and Florida
