Also an entertaining bit from
Ben Smith's blog, submitted by a guy in Co Springs, apparently from his iPhone:
Quote:
One lovely feature of this endless (though now basically over) primary is the national tour, the introduction to events like, today, the Colorado Democratic Convention in Colorado Springs.
The reader who sent in this photo
writes from his iPhone:
There are 10,000 Democrats here today in Colorado Springs, the most conservative city in Colorado. As one person I overheard say, "We're in the lions' den."
Lots of talk about how the eyes of the nation will soon be on Denver during the national convention and turning Colorado blue in the general election.
Terry McAuliffe is here too. He says the party will be united but then cites Hillary as having a lead in the popular vote, which draws loud boos from the majority of the crowd. It takes a few minutes for the crowd to stop booing. Everyone kisses and makes up as McAuliffe says to work hard for your prospective candidates and then vote Democrat no matter who it is.

Here's to hoping my new home state swings the other way, this November.
