THE GAZETTE

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama will hold an invitation-only event in Colorado Springs Wednesday, his campaign announced today.

No details were given immediately, and several local party leaders said that they did not know about the event before being told by a reporter. A campaign spokesman said that details will be released in the coming days.

The appearance by the Illinois Senator will be the first for a Democratic presidential nominee in recent memory, as several long-time Democrats said they could not remember such an appearance as far back as the 1980s. But with Colorado lining up as a key swing state in the election, analysts have predicted that both Obama and U.S. Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, could make multiple trips to the state.

Of course, I probably wasn't going to get into that anyway.

I don't think that Obama should meet with Dobson under any circumstance. It raises Dobson and lowers Obama all to the advantage of McCain.

I've been to that town a couple times ... :scared:

'50's when I went to Pike's Peak with my fam. Way before I knew anything about "Colorado Springs".

oregonian. (i am a pacific nw transplant myself.) the town is absolutely gorgeous. the natives there (not the focus on the family bastards and other superchristians who have moved in) are really nice and diverse from what i hear...

I found this story through another link on the site..

Web site formed after his remarks on Obama

James Dobson might speak for Focus on the Family, but a group of Christian leaders wants him to know he doesn't speak for them.

In response to Dobson's comments Tuesday criticizing Barack Obama for misinterpreting the Bible, a group led by a Houston pastor - who is also a friend of President Bush's family - created a Web site, jamesdobsondoesntspeakforme.com. The site posts a statement critical of Dobson as a religious leader, then asks people to register their agreement and post comments. More than 10,000 people have responded, according to the Web site."
