McCain pulls out of Colorado, retraction

It appears that John McCain is in fact not giving up on Colorado just yet. Though he is trailing here in some polls by close to 10 points, he will be making two stops in Colorado this Friday. McCain will be in Denver on Friday morning, and down in Durango in the afternoon. There is talk that he may make a stop in Republican hotbed, Colorado Springs between the two.

13 days until election day!

McCain will campaign in Denver, Durango on Friday

Local angle

This is a really cool tidbit. "The last presidential candidate believed to have visited Durango was Ralph Nader in September 2000, and before that John F. Kennedy in 1960."

Let it snow...

Seems winter is finally upon us here in Colorado. We woke up to a good 6+ inches of snow this morning. It'll probably all melt by this weekend, but it sure was a shock this morning. Living at 8400 ft in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, you have to like snow. Good thing we and our dog Max like the snow. Bring it on!

McCain camp looking for way to win without Colorado

While Iowa, New Mexico and Colorado are still officially listed as McCain target states, two top strategists and advisers tell CNN that the situation in those states looks increasingly bleak. Iowa and New Mexico always have been viewed as difficult races, but the similar assessment of Colorado reflects a dramatic shift for a campaign that had long counted on the state.
"Gone," was the word one top McCain insider used to describe those three states.

Seems like the tide is quickly turning for the McCain campaign.
