Obama Returning West

I guess I'll need to be in Las Vegas some time this spring. It looks like President Obama hasn't forgotten The West.

How the West Can Be Won

In case you missed it, check out this gem in today's LA Times. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) talks about his own experience getting elected in Colorado, and explains how Democrats win in the interior West (meaning the land between the Great Plains & the Pacific Coast states). It's a fascinating read.

Even though I'm one of those "Left Coast Californication Hippie Freaks", I understand that Democrats like Ken Salazar & Jon Tester don't campaign in the same way that Barbara Boxer & Patty Murray do. While environmental & natural resource issues and are also HUGE inland, one has to pursue this & other issues in a different way. But when Democrats get the "Western Mentality", Democrats win there just like they win here in The Golden State.

So anyways, take a look here & tell me what you think about winning The West.
