Colorado Republicans calls Palin pick history-making

By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter

Colorado Republicans are lauding John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate, calling the pick history-making. 

State Rep. Amy Stephens (R-Monument) said in a statement that "This is a great day for America and this is a great day for women. 

"I could not be more excited about John McCain's pick of Governor Sarah Palin for vice president," she said in the statement. "She has an accomplished record of challenging the status quo and fighting business as usual in Washington.  She has put a stop to out of control spending and knows what it means to put country first.  Palin will be a great partner for John McCain and she will be great vice president of the United States."

McCain spokesperson Tom Kise echoed those thoughts, telling PolitickerCO.com that with Palin on the GOP ticket and African-American Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee, "No matter who wins, there will be history made on November the 4th."

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.
