Denver and Boulder alone were not enough to deliver Colorado to Kerry Yeah, it ain't just Denver and Boulder, thank God.

As much as I would like to believe otherwise Colorado will be a nail-bitter.

This is no time to get overconfident. Denver and Boulder alone were not enough to deliver Colorado to Kerry (even though Salazar won in ’04).

It is not over and we still need to Get out the Vote!

guess they forgot to tell the 22,000 that showed up in Grand Junction yesterday to hear a 15 minute speech from Sarah Palin. 22,000? Phfft, is that the best you can do? Amateurs.

First of all, the number is from the local party. Considering the track record it was probably closer to 12k. That doesn’t change the fact that McCain staffers are telling people they’re pulling out.

Yeah.

Those 22,000 out on the west slope will totally blow away the vote here in Denver.

Get real, Marty. According to the story, McCain staffers are losing hope for Colorado. Their pessimism is based on polling data, not on the number of people who show up at a rally.

(P.S., OW: According to Malkin, this story is an attempt at Voter suppression!! Yarg! Fleen!! by the eeeevil Em Ess Em!)

Yes, brilliant appearance in Colorado, Marty:

In an interview with KUSA in Colorado, Palin responds to the following question:

Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, “What does the Vice President do?”

PALIN: That’s something that Piper would ask me! … [T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.

O- sans Colorado or Virginia, “Old Navy” is toast. Maybe they can trot out Rev. Wright…Oh, I forgot- voters already know about Rev. Wright.

Oh well, there’s always 2012.
