The ad wars in Colorado.

While watching TV about 6 or 6:30pm this evening, there were 3 ads in a row.

The first was a very effective Romney ad talking about the worst economy in many years, with high unemployment, and the promises that this White House made and didn't keep...etc..etc.

The second ad was an Obama ad, mostly positive, about how this election was a choice and how we got into this mess in the first place? That trickle-down did not work..etc...

The third ad, all running consecutively, was another Romney ad. It was about his success running the SLC Olympics and was a little more positive in content.

But a lot of money is being spent in Colorado this year. Both Parties must think it is important?
