Obama can win Colorado

McCain trumpets oil drilling as he courts Colorado again

By William Douglas | McClatchy Newspapers

DENVER — John McCain campaigned Thursday in Colorado for the seventh time since becoming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, trumpeting an energy policy that appears to be resonating in this closely contested state.

On the stump and in a new television ad, McCain attacked Democratic candidate Barack Obama, accusing him of preferring to be an international celebrity over trying to lower gasoline prices at home.

McCain's blasts came as he's battling to hold on to Colorado, a Republican state in recent presidential elections that's become increasingly Democratic in other races. President Bush won the state twice, defeating former Vice President Al Gore 51-42 percent and getting by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., by 52-47 percent.

But Democrats have taken over the governor's mansion, the state legislature and one U.S. Senate seat, and make up a majority of Colorado's delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives.

McCain's former aide refers to McCain's tactics as tomfoolery.

2. The Dems need to put out an ad showing how much gas prices have risen under the GOP
and ask, "Why would you trust McCain?"
