DISQUS

I have no idea why anyone in Colorado would vote for a democrat. The dems had their convention in Denver and the leftists vowed to burn the city down if they didn't get their way. Does anyone remember all the police that had to be hired to prevent riots and looting? Does anyone remember how much money had to be spent to prevent all of that which could have gone to other services? How much of the taxpayer's money did it take to prevent the democrats from rioting in your streets, smashing your store windows and dragging people out of their cars?

It wasn't enough that the dems had their own convention. They had to go to Minnesota and disrupt the Republican's convention with over four hundred arrests.

Before you vote for a person, at least ask to see their birth certificate. The dems already had sued John McCain because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone to American parents. Where's obama's birth certificate? Still in Kenya?

I'm sorry you are so misinformed. I'm sure all those journalists arrested were violently protesting too (like Amy Goodman). This point is, the police overstepped their bounds during both conventions, going as far as arresting people preemptively. That is to say they arrested people on the speculation that they were going to commit a crime. Where's the constitutional amendment that make preemptive arrest legal? I guess they could have been speculated to commit domestic terrorism. The great Patriot Act covers that. Bush has just pushed this country further towards a fearful police state, and John McCain is not the answer.

Also, Obama was born in Honolulu.

Martin - *She is a 58 year old single woman who describes herself as open-minded and progressive. She says she is ‘moderate to liberal’*

search on Jan Martin: is she the one who likes the ACLU and GLSEN & the Citizens Project?

Does she sound like someone who would be a conservative or even a repub? she is Obama fodder from the git go: Glad to see she has she has found her home / more in tune with Democrats; she is likely not conservative. Barely a RINO.

Dream on =(keep trying to get repubs to stay home), dear shills for oboma posing as journalists.

She is certainly NOT an example of defections away from mccain.

too bad you didn't interview all the lifelong dems we meet who are crossing to vote for mccain, since obama and ayers hijacked the dem party to the ultra left.

If you like Venezuela under Chavez (and Detroit under Kwame) you'll love living in the Obamanation - make sure you attend the re-education classes where your gardener gets to tell you how he feels about you (you know the guy, the one gettting his no - income verifcation mortgage bailed out with your tax dollars, courtesy of DEMS like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Franklin Raines who made millions while donating and advising to Obama.

Want real change?

Between a fighter pilot and a mom both of whom bucked their party vs 2 lawyers, both of whom noted as the tow most liberal tax and spend leftists in the senate.

what a choice

Yeah I am sure to believe this left wing propo-NOT. Seriously, even if evanglicals aren't entralled with McCain (I should know since I am one), they arent' going to vote barack Obama en-mass, and I doubt the Military presence there will either! This is more liberal wishful thinking/propoganda /\/\.

I'll see your New Life Church and it's 10,000 possible voters for Obama in Colorado Springs
and raise you the more than 10,000 military men and women and family at Peterson Air Force in Colorado Springs, the 4,000 cadets at the Air Force Academy, the 10,000 soldiers at Fort Carson,
and the 4,500 airmen at Schreiver Air Force Base.

It's doubtful the New Life congregation will tilt toward Obama. The point is, a longtime Republican bastion is withholding explicit support for the Republican nominee this year, and some prominent Republicans are fed up with McCain so are voting for Obama. That's happening all over the country, it shouldn't be surprising to see it happening in Colorado Springs.

As for the area's military presence, Obama leads McCain in donations from active-duty military and veterans groups are split in their support for the two. As in recent presidential elections, military votes tend to divide more evenly than you'd suspect.

You're right, Major Carpenter, McCain will doubtless carry El Paso County, but it doesn't look like he can count on the margins Bush had four and eight years ago.
