Our Platform for Outlining Colorado’s Future

    Romney and Obama Cross Paths 03 Sep 2007 01:59 pm MILFORD -- After a devastating flood last April, Milford needed a boost, and the Labor Day parade here, one of the oldest in the country, did the trick. There was Barack Obama and his moving rope line greeting students. Mitt Romney pausing to shake hands with firefighters. Chris Dodd holding his beautiful young daughter. This is a Republican town; no other Republican had a presence here, except for a pair of signing-waving Guiliani backers and a truckload of veterans for McCain. This day, it seems as if his GOP rivals were yielding New Hampshire to him. Romney, cheerful, suntanned, dressed in a polo shirt, came prepared with a few sound bites for the reporters. At a brief press conference,he teased Ex-Sen. Fred Thompson, who has decided to announce his presidential candidacy one day after an important debate here. "I guess the only comment I'd make to Fred Thompson is, 'Why the Hurry?' Why not tak...

And then this from Obama's overpaid wife:   "The heavy presence of security around Obama was also a silent reminder of the change that took place with the announcement. Michelle Obama, the candidate's wife, acknowledged it in an interview to air on CBS' "60 Minutes," in which she was asked if she fears for her husband's life as a black candidate. "I don't lose sleep over it because the realities are that . . . as a black man . . . Barack can get shot going to the gas station," Michelle Obama said in the interview, set to air Sunday night. "You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen."   ref: http://hotair.com/archives/2007/02/11/video-obamas-wife-plays-race-card-on-60-minutes   As if "as a white man" I couldn't?

It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people that we are talking about. You stay up for 16 hours. He stays up for days on end. You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water. You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. You put on your anti war/ don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt. You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags. You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again. You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists. You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off hi...

I know this has been covered already but David Reinhard did a great job... Here it is.   Romney unplugged By David Reinhard ( bio ) Tell a Friend Printer Friendly Font [+] Font [–] The canned events, dog 'n' pony shows, sound bites and photo-ops — no wonder voters become desperate for authenticity, real emotion, a true look into a would-be president's heart and soul? We turn to candidate debates hoping for a bit of spontaneity. Some candidates oblige with a seemingly spontaneous line. But most often these bloodless affairs are little more than serial press statements hurled at barely related questions, slogans in search of car bumpers. We're left asking what's this or that candidate really like when the tape's not on — or when he thinks it's not on. How does he or she react in unplanned or uncomfortable situations? We came close to seeing that last week in Iowa with a candidate in need of letting down his perfect hair on an iss...
