from the Daily Camera – apparently Obama just can’t quit us…
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will return to Colorado on Saturday for an event in the Pueblo area.
The campaign made the announcement Wednesday, but did not include details about exactly when or where the event would take place.

6 days left, make one last push in the Rocky Mountain West.
I also expect to see Senator Obama visiting Florida, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and Missouri.
Who wants to head south on Saturday?
and phone banking. But thanks Go Blue.
Maybe we can fill up the car with beer and get into some crazy shenanigans after the election is over.
now I feel guilty. You’re right, we should all be knocking and phone banking.
I felt so guilty reading some threads on other blogs that I signed up. I’ve done so much, I just got burnt out in the last few weeks.
Rogue operations run by those insidious community organizers using cell phones and call sheets from Vote Builder. We’re lucky they can’t call in air strikes using drones because we congregate at homes in Gilpin County that get cell phone reception.
I have never ever made a campaign call in my life and I by and large suck at it but some of my comrades are wonderful conversationalists and I absorb some of their phone savvy through osmosis. I was so stressed the first time I called that I could only finish a couple of sheets. It does get easier but some folks are naturals and some like me are awkward and awful at it but I press on. The potluck spread has always been a bonus.
Perhaps it’s my overconfidence, but I’d like to see a little more campaigning in long-shot states like Montana or North Dakota or Georgia. I think Colorado might be fairly safe for him at this point.
But I think that it’s far more vital that we win the show, not just run up the electoral count.
Oh wait, spx, you just want your six pack.
for trying to garner an electoral vote as well as a popular vote mandate. It will be easier to move his program through the congress (mandates have an effect Rs and recalcitrant Dems) if he has a sizable victory in both categories.
A narrow victory in the popular diminishes a mandate no matter how much over 270 he gets.
But didn’t Bush prove that you can get 51% and it’s a mandate? Obama would just have to call it a mandate, and it would be a mandate.
he had a Republican Congress (until Jeffords switched, and then he had 9/11). Bush tried to claim a mandate for his positions in 2005 and attempted to spend his political capital on privatizing Social Security (with John McCain’s enthusiastic support). How did that work out for him?
After Watergate and the near-impeachment in Iran-Contra, not getting impeached is the major accomplishment a second-term Republican can hope for. Congratulations to George W. Bush!
I heard he’s coming back because of the elevated level of discourse on this site.
is the epicenter of the new blue revolution in the west. Also the epicenter for the kind of moderate/populist candidates that are turning the west blue and the perfect partners for a unity presidency.
It’s not that formerly red states going blue are going liberal per se. It’s that blue more and more means moderate/populist, the perfect shade to bring the nation together under an Obama presidency, send the fringe crazies home and bring back old fashioned Main Street moderate Rs to work with populist Main Street Ds.
This is exactly the coalition we need to make us the world leaders of a new green energy economy that will have us producing, manufacturing and exporting technology again like we used to when the American worker was king and the American middle class the broadest and most prosperous on earth, the envy of and beacon to the world. Knock wood!
We’ll find out if it’s really going to happen in approximately 140 hours.
