Last night, as promised, Governor Mark Warner from Virginia came to Colorado to help support my campaign, and I want you all to know that the results exceeded my wildest imagination in every way. We had a huge, enthusiastic crowd. We had all of our Colorado Congressional Candidates. We had our Senate Majority Leader. We had Congresswoman Diana Degette. We raised a lot of money. We got great media. And most of all we fired up a lot of Democrats to go out and fight for change in the next 84 days!
So here's the really important part:
THANK YOU!
Thank you all for everything.
Thank you to everyone out there who voted for me in Gov. Warner's Mapchangers Contest and to everyone who has supported this campaign in any way.
Thank you to my amazing staff and volunteers who did a truly first rate job on this event. I never doubt you--I only doubt my ability to live up to what you do for me!
Thank you to my brothers and sister on the campaign trail, Colorado's fantastic Congressional Candidates--Angie Paccione, Jay Fawcett, and Ed Perlmutter--for coming and showing what Democratic unity is all about. Please go show them some love here:

We have to get these three great Americans elected to Congress!
Thank you so much to my newly adopted (I don't like my own Congressman so much) Congresswoman--Diana Degette! Folks, if you don't think there are any Democrats out there who will stand for something, then you don't know Diana Degette. Find out more about her here:

And last but certainly not least, thank you to Governor Mark Warner and his staff. You were amazing, sir! As I stood there on stage listening to the Governor, I thought "Wow, welcome to the big leagues, boy!"
I'd like to think I hit a few pitches while I was up there speaking, but the Gov was blasting every pitch out of the park! All I can really say is WOW!
I won't forget that you were the first to come to Colorado for me, Governor. Loyalty runs bone deep where I come from!
If you were there, please share your thoughts and impressions. Thank you all again!
