For those that don't know I was born and raised in Colorado. I moved to the Durango, CO area back in 2000. This is a little of my background. Now for a little background in the area.
Durango is very much a liberal and hippie town however La Plata County is made up of mostly conservatives. In 2004 La Plata county voted for current president Bush and it is my understanding that our county is considered a swing county which could prove to determine where Colorado's electorates go (Dem or Rep).
On Monday, John McCain's campaign announced that John was coming to Durango for a rally. I am hopeful that I and my wife will be able to obtain seats in order to be a part of American History!
To my understanding only Ralf Nader and John F Kennedy campaigned in our little crunchy town so this is quite a rare opportunity.
From the linked article I noticed that the Pro-Obama groups in the area are trying to place a 'guilt by association' statue in the Durango High School parking lot. McCain is guilty of being like Bush and their association is a life size statue of Bush and McCain embracing.
I am half tempted to produce a sign to hang up that says something like:
If McCain is like Bush based on 'guilt by association' then let's be 'fair' and do the same for Obama. Obama is just another 'Ayers, Rezco, Farakhan, Wright, etc.' Now which association(s) do you consider to be worse?
