John McCain opened his town hall meeting in Pueblo by telling supporters that he and running mate Sarah Palin are a "team of two mavericks."

McCain praised Palin's performance in her debate with Joe Biden while speaking to a packed arena at Colorado State University on Friday.

It's the first time a Republican presidential candidate has visited the city since 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt stumped there.

A political scientist at Colorado State University-Pueblo says McCain is trying to chip away at the Democratic advantage in Pueblo. Mark Gose says rural areas around the city are becoming more Republican.

Democrat Barack Obama visited the city about a month ago.

Hmmm....perhaps everyone could stand to do some research....I thought Austin Goolsbee was Obama's Chief Economic Advisor, and There are pleanty of articles out there which totally debunk the theory that Kay stated below indicating that Raines, Howard and Johnson are in the Obama Camp as advisors and what not....Perhaps you should have a more open mind and really seek the truth, not just what is told to you in a 30 sec clip from you tube, or in McCauly's world weblog....or wherever you people get your totally unfounded information.

Kay, why is it that anyone with a hispanic last name is an "illegal"? I am sure that many hispanic families have lived in southern colorado far longer than those of other ethnic backgrounds...
