John Salazar: Obama friend to American farmer
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter“We need a president who understands the contributions of rural America,” Salazar said. We need a preside who understands (people) who are up at 5 a.m. to make sure there’s food on the table. “Barack Obama will be that president,” Salazar said. “And all that John McCain is offering is more of the same,” Salazar said, citing McCain’s long-time opposition to the Farm Bill and federal nutrition programs.

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."
- David Canter, an attorney from Highlands Ranch who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the state's 6th Congressional district seat in 2010, on how he will run a different campaign from the one 2008 Democratic candidate Hank Eng did against U.S. Rep.-elect Mike Coffman.
