Friday wrapped up the Campaign for Change Rural Tour. The RV worked (and sometimes strained) its way up the Western Slope back towards Denver.
The towns of Olathe, Hotchkiss, Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs, Edwards, and finally Dillon all got to see the Campaign for Change RV roll through and hear its passengers, Agriculture Commissioner John Stulp, Former Governor Roy Romer, and US Senator Ken Salazar tell them why Senator Obama is the best choice for rural America
Here are some pictures from the final day:
Many Mainers were shocked when Sen. Susan Collins speculated on a radio show about John Edwards's adultery since it opens the door to the discussion of Sen. McCain's admitted adultery.
If you don't know about McCain's first marriage and why he left his sick wife and children, you should do a bit of research. We can't afford to have a man like that be the leader of the free world.
This issue is important for a couple of reasons: to begin, it establishes clearly that McCain's moral fiber is hardly the stuff of Presidents. But it also illustrates that Susan Collins is a catty and inappropriate person for Mainers to have in the Senate.
To find out about this, I suggest you read not only the article in the Portland Press Herald, but that you read the public forum posts as well.
If a few people post their thoughts and make this a "popular" forum subject, then it will appear with a direct link on the front page of the online.

Please RSVP to confirm our count. You'll be sure to get a front row "luxury viewing box seat" to Invesco Field, without standing in line and avoiding the congestion and traffic. :)
Thanks in advance for sharing this historic evening with Friends of Obama. We Are the Winds of Change and the Movement that Drives this Campaign!
This is outrageous fiction! Early in the 2008 Democratic presidential campaign, supporters chose one of two groups: Clinton and ABC (Anyone But Clinton).
Actually, Clinton was aided by the large field of Democratic candidates, because they split the ABC votes into 7 parts--thus making it easier for Clinton to win.
Wolfson fantasizes that the Edwards supporters' second choice would have been Clinton; but, among the Edwards supporters that I have met, Obama was the second choice.
Publicly, Hillary Clinton is supporting Obama; but, at the national convention in Denver, she still wants to have a roll call vote of the states. As an old song lyric said, “There is 'No, no' on your lips, but there is 'Yes, yes' in your eyes.” The Democratic Party needs unity in order to win the November election, but the Clinton campaign is continuing the primary struggle into the convention.
Those of us that have been paying close attention to this election have noticed that Republicans have been quick to exploit any news story that can be distorted to discreditBarack Obama. But with the Edwards story, John McCain and the Republicans are treading lightly this time.Why? Because John McCain's vapid, shallow and crotchety campaign has been based on two things:First, the McCain campaign is out to assassinate the character, policies and campaign narrative of Barack Obama with an alarmingly vitriolic and immature tone that more and more voters are finding repulsive.The second part of the McCain campaign strategy is to continue his hyperbolic glamorization about his service and character. John McCain wants you to believe that getting shot down and beaten up is a qualification to lead, and that taking on populist policy positions as part of an image-making strategy after the Keating Five scandal somehow validates the assertion that he is an independent minded maverick.There is a growing consensus throughout the voting community that John McCain’s self-manufactured image as maverick-foreign affairs guru-former fly-boy is little more than a thin marketing strategy that worked better eight years ago.So, of course John McCain doesn’t want the public to be reminded of his character flaws, which includes his violent and vulgar temperament as well as his dozen or so marital infidelities.John McCain’s first wife, Carol waited years for her husband while he was in a P.O.W. camp. When he came home to find that the former model was severely injured in a car accident.Despite his apparently catastrophic war injuries on the behalf of the Viet Cong, he was able to muster the strength and virility to commit hundreds of infidelities with dozens of women.When he finally found an FWB who had extensive connections in Republican politics and who was a millionaire heiress to the Anheuser-Busch fortune, he left Carol outright.McCain even had the audacity to get a marriage license to wed Cindy McCain, (the infamous pill-popping Stepford Wife) before his divorce with Carol was final.So, while John Edwards was egregiously unfaithful, I’m sure McCain would like it better if the public wasn’t talking about the marital infidelities of politicians.Especially when his character-myth is the lynchpin of his campaign narrative.
