I thought this was a cool front page. From the Chicago Sun-Times.

President-Elect Obama

A very historic night last night. The nations first African American has been elected President, and by a very wide margin. I'm hopeful that Obama will be able to change the course of this great nation. I just hope that he follows through on his campaign rhetoric.

Here's to the next four years!

Barack Obama, our next president

Today's the day...

Election 2008 will be coming to an end tonight(hopefully), and I for one can't wait. I won't be missing the endless robo-calls we've been receiving the past two weeks. I also won't miss all the stupid commericials on TV. Too bad Jake Jabs won't be going away anytime soon.

Let's just hope the end actually happens and we don't have a repeat of 2000.

VOTE!

Just a friendly reminder to get out to the polls tomorrow and make sure your voice is heard. Should be a historic day!

Obama on TV tonight

Barack Obama has paid reportedly $1 million a network to broadcast a 30 minute message today. The program will appear on NBC, CBS, and Fox. Not sure why it's not being broadcast on ABC, maybe it's a Disney thing. Supposedly Obama will focus on the economy for the majority or the 30 minutes.

Obama to be in Colorado on Sunday

Looks like Obama will be making a campaign stop in Denver on Sunday. The campaign hasn't released any details, but it appears he may be speaking in Civic Center Park. I'm sure there will be a huge turnout for that.

Palin stumped by a 3rd grader

This is downright scary.

Story here

I'm sorry Gov. Palin, but the Vice President does not introduce legislature to the Senate. They are only involved with the Senate if there is ever a tie, and their vote is needed to break that tie.

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."

McCain pulls out of Colorado

Thanks to Tim for pointing this article out.

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.

Early Voting

There is nothing more important this election season then getting out and actually voting. I plan to vote on November 4th since our polling place is usually not that busy. Others may not be so lucky. By all accounts this election will see the highest voter turnout ever. With one of the longest ballots in state history, lines may end up being very long on the 4th.

If it fits into your schedule, you have the opportunity to vote early. The Rocky Mountain News ran a great piece about early voting in today's edition. Included is a great FAQ that you might find helpful.

Bottom line: GET OUT AND VOTE!
