Even unfriendly turf vital to Obama in Colo.

COLORADO SPRINGS — The presidential race in swing-state Colorado is razor-thin and fiercely fought, a Rocky Mountains battleground with nine electoral votes that has been blanketed with $50 million in television ads.

In this state, every vote counts, which is why President Obama is contesting even the areas he has no chance of winning. A case in point: Colorado Springs, in El Paso County, a place with five military installations and deep evangelical roots. Both Democrats and Republicans say the community will hand the president a major defeat on Nov. 6.

"In this state, every vote counts, which is why President Obama is contesting even the areas he has no chance of winning". Actually, given the large crowds at Mitt Romney rallies, he has no chance of winning the State of Colorado. -------Uninstalling Obama. ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ 90% complete

This is front page news? Another useless article written and presented by the Boston Globe. The Weekly Shopper has more relative information.

Hillary Clinton tells the father of a dead Navy Seal, killed at Benghazi, Libya "We will arrest and prosecute man who produced this Video". The filmmaker is still in jail on a trumped up charge. For telling this monstrous LIE to a grieving father, Hillary Clinton, along with Barack Obama should be arrested and prosecuted. And where did the jihadists get their weapons? Why from the American led "Arab Spring".

Its hard not to get angry reading nthis article. It makes it plain that in this country, some people have more say in who will be president than others. The importance of your vote should NOT depend on the state you live in. IT IS TIME TO GET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, THE STRANGEST AND MOST UNJUST THING IN OUR SONSTITUTION TODAY.
