Campaigning in Colorado



After a week of more gaffes, like Biden's spelling mishap of the three-letter word J-O-B-S, and his comments about an imminent global "test" on a President Obama (click here for more info), Senator Biden has moved on to campaign in Colorado. Colorado, a swing state whose early voting is now open. Over the past two days, Biden has been on a bus tour through Colorado speaking in cities such as Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Ft. Collins, Commerce City, and Pueblo. On top of speaking at rallies where he stressed the listeners to go out and vote early, Senator Biden also took time to go speak to campaign volunteers to thank them for their time. Once he leaves Colorado Senator Biden has plans to go to Florida this coming Friday with stops in Danville and Martinsville. 

Earlier on Monday Senator Biden was in California and appeared on the "Ellen" show, where he announced that if he lived in California he would appose proposition 8, an important measure on our upcoming ballot.

Nevertheless, any mistakes made by Biden are not going to spark any controversies. As Obama is currently leading in the poles, all eyes are on the republicans to see what they are going to do to gain an advantage on election day.

It is interesting to see how much of a national microcosm Prop 8 has become. Between Biden's public position on the ballot measure and Apple Computers' donation of $100,000 to the "No on 8" Campaign it is clear that the success or defeat of Proposition 8 may mean the same verdict on a national level.
