We here in Utah cannot understand this bizarre argument that Obama doesn't capture a "white vote."  There are as many black people in my state as there are Clinton voters:  nearly none.  These facts were on display in our primary results and in the crowd shots from every Jazz home playoff game this year.  Besides the fact that the "white vote" argument is offensive and beside the point, it is just plain wrong.

It may be true that Hillary Clinton is the only acceptable candidate to some narrow income group of Caucasians that reside between the Mississipi river and the states bordering the East coast.  But, MY GOD, who cares?  It is Hillary Clinton's utter lack of ability to be competitive among white voters in Western states that resulted in Obama breaking the proportional allocation system, and making narrow Clinton wins in states that satisfy the Penn/Wolfsson criteria insignificant.

Let me use Utah's example to show you why it is so particulary important to us, most of whom are white, that Obama become our candidate immediately...

We have are having a session in Colorado where the Republicans have literally lost their collective minds related to Sportsmen's issues.  Read about what is going on in Colorado, call your Senator and House Representative and find out what is happening in your neck of the woods.  These issues are easy coalition builders between environmentalists, recreational businesses and Sportsmen.  We filled a meeting room at the Capitol full to overflowing and managed to corner a couple of these Repugs and even though their attitude and answers pissed me off to no end, I recognize a political opportunity when I see one.

I went to the Sportsmen's Caucus at the Colorado Capitol on January 24th.  Currently the Republicans are playing games with Sportsmen's issues.  They think they have the Sportsmen's vote locked up and what they do won't hurt them at the ballot box; I want to make them pay for their hubris. The next Sportsmen's Caucus is February 20th for Colorado.  When does your Sportsmen's caucus meet?

The issues we are dealing with in Colorado include Off Road Vehicle Regulation, Internet Hunting, wasting meat, water, easements and habitat preservation.  What's happening in your neck of the woods?
