Rove: Colorado one of three most important states in presidential race
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com Reporter
Former Bush advisor Karl Rove: Getty Images PhotoMINNEAPOLIS--Along with Ohio and Virginia, Colorado will be the state to watch for the U.S. presidential election this November, said former Bush administration official and GOP strategist Karl Rove on Wednesday.
"I'm sorry to tell you you're going to see an unending supply of television ads, and people are going to be knocking on your doors and ringing your phones," Rove told the Colorado delegation to the Republican National Convention over breakfast at the Four Points by Sheraton Minneapolis Hotel.
Rove also blasted Barack Obama and his presidential campaign for attacking Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's vice-presidential qualifications.
"It is condescending - and I'm not going to say sexist - but really weird to be belittling the governor of the state of Alaska by saying, "well, she's only been a mayor (of Wasilla, Alaska)with a $12 million budget."

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.
