Colorado has been a relatively busy place for the last couple of weeks in the campaigns of the Dems and the GOP.
First, the Obama campaign flew the president to this swing state for another in a long string of events on Thursday the 13th, stopping at Golden and Denver. The president enjoyed an eight-point victory in '08 over McCain in Colorado, and cognizant of a difficult race this year has been working since 2011 to hold onto an edge here.
As a result of the Democrats' efforts, Colorado Republicans have been feeling an acute deficit in face-time with their candidate. Romney heard your pain, conservative Coloradans, and (in spite of one or two plane-related distractions) answered with some campaign stops in the Denver area and Pueblo. The campaign's stop in Pueblo, an area where few if any analysts expect the Republicans to make much headway this season, raised one or two eyebrows, but Romney's campaign felt strongly that the area will respond positively to their message, "This is an area that the Obama economy has hit particularly hard." More on the outcome of his rallies later.
