On the day of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's visit to Colorado last week, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Golden) chose Obama over 110,000 people.
"So, you're a member of Congress," Perlmutter said to a group of Obama campaign volunteers in Golden on Sunday. "You have a choice - either speak to 110,000 people at Civic Center, or you get to ride on a bus from Denver to Fort Collins with Mark Udall and his wife Maggie Fox, Ken Salazar, Barack Obama and two Secret Service agents."
