Four Rmoney ads -- one Obama ad.

I rarely watch local TV, but just sitting around before the Ed Show I tuned into a local station showing 'Family Feud'.

In the half hour I saw four Rmoney ads (one was a super PAC ad) and only one Obama ad.

I also saw more Rmoney/Ryan yard signs today, no new Obama signs.

With unaffiliated voters at my house we have received probably about seven or eight Rmoney mailings ... maybe one Obama mailer (from a union, I think).

I live in Jefferson County, the bellwether county in Colorado.

I sure hope the campaign knows what it is doing here.

but it seems like Colorado is slipping away from Obama but it's not completely lost yet. I really thought Obama would have this state safely in his column.

Early voting begins next week, and I'm sure the absentee is about 75% Obama.

I'm gonna cast my vote on Election Day.

Yard signs don't vote, and most people tune out the attack ads.

What REALLY counts is GOTV efforts. Find your local OFA office and volunteer to knock on doors to remind people to vote. It's not hard work and it makes a HUGE effort.

I can't believe Romney can match the ground game we have going here.
