Ken Salazar - NEA Subsidiary

Guy and Ben have already posted on this, so I'll just make a couple of brief comments.

This is a play to his base, and again to an issue important to the Hispanic vote. I don't want to sound like a broken record, and it's not the prism for the whole election, but it is key to Salazar's strategy. When the voter registration drives and GOTV efforts start, he needs to have this nailed down already. Also, remember that a couple of voucher measures have been voted down statewide.

That's no reason to oppose them, but it does mean Coors has a little sales job to do. School choice is a winning issue in inner cities and needs to be pushed is southern Colorado, too. Coors, as a businessman, should have plenty of stories about how competition improved his business's products and practices over the years.
