Laura Bush: ‘We Can’t Take Colorado for Granted’
By KUNC, 9-04-08
If the Democratic and Republican National conventions are any indication, Colorado has cemented its status as a swing state in the November election. Last week Democrats said the road to the White House runs through the West - and Colorado delegates in St. Paul this week are hearing more of the same. In this radio piece, KUNC’s state capital reporter Bente Birkeland talks to delegates who say energy, water and national security are the issues on Westerners minds in Minnesota.
The delegates also heard this week from First Lady Laura Bush, who says Colorado is going to be a battleground.
“I do think we’re going to work really hard. We can’t take Colorado for granted,” she said.
