One feature of being a swing-state is that you get lots of visits from politicians. Obama, for instance, will be making his second visit to Colorado in less than one month on October 25. He is going to host two fundraisers at the Pepsi Center. According to today's Denver Post, for the thirty minutes in which Obama will actually be in the restaurant, you can choose to spend $5,000 per person for dinner, or $10,000 for dinner and a photo. Then the President goes to another restaurant in the Pepsi Center, while you are being served your 5 or 10 thousand dollar dinner. For $35,800 dollars you can be part of a "small clutch" and get a more "candid" photo with the President. Does that mean Candid Camera will be there?
Meanwhile, outside the Pepsi Center I wonder if the usual cadre of homeless people will be there sleeping on the ground or on benches. Somehow, I believe they will be magically removed from the scene, don't you? Then, as soon as Obama gets his money, he will return to bashing the rich for not paying their fair share. Is this a great country, or what?

I don't know whether to be glad or sad I live in a very non swing state but yes I agree with you; they'll spruce it up for the prez.
