Colorado: Rich Beeson

With the Republican National Convention wrapping up, expect Republicans to take the driver's seat against Barack Obama, said Rich Beeson, political director for the Republican National Committee.

"We are on the offense. We are no longer on our heels," Beeson told Colorado delegates to the Republican National Convention Thursday morning. "We are no longer on the defense. We are no longer explaining why we are for something or against something. We are now fully on offense. This race is about Barack Obama and what he represents."
