Nora reports on the real star at a Ken Salazar rally Saturday —
[Salazar] was introduced by Barack Obama. Obama spoke for approximately twenty minutes and he was, as you might expect, phenomenal. His message was necessarily similar to those of the other speakers (vote Democratic in November), but his personality and his thought process eclipsed all the other politicians’ speeches. He has this way of instantly making you feel like you know him, and he delivers his anecdotes so that you immediately understand why you have a responsibility to help people you don’t know. There was a stark contrast between Obama and Salazar — Illinois is lucky to have him.
Ken Salazar is running for the U.S. Senate in Colorado. Barack Obama is running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois.
