Colorado: Mitt Romney

UPDATED 6:17 P.M. 10/31/2008

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will be in Colorado Springs on Saturday afternoon for a rally on behalf of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, according to the El Paso County Republican Party.

He'll also attend a rally at McCain's Colorado state headquarters in Greenwood Village on Saturday night, McCain's campaign announced.

Romney will appear at 5 p.m. at Mr. Biggs Family Fun Center, 5825 Mark Dabling Blvd. in Colorado Springs. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m; the event is free and non-ticketed.

Republican National Convention delegate and pro-life activist Kristy Burton is a John McCain supporter.

But with talk of McCain gauging reaction to a potential pro-choice running mate, Burton told PolitickerCO.com that she wouldn't support McCain's vice-presidential pick until he or she is pro-life.

The last time we saw GodVoter.org, the self-styled Christian seal of approval for presidential candidates, was back in December when they were being chastised by US Rep Tom Tancredo for displaying "religious bigotry" in their opposition to Mitt Romney because of his Mormon beliefs.

So we weren't real surprised this A.M. when an email appeared in our inbox from GodVoter warning John McCain about a McCain-Romney ticket.

Mostly because when we do, we get hate mail that goes like this: “Dear Wally, What does this have to do with Colorado? Signed, your loving Editor.”
