UPDATED: Pres. Obama in Grand Junction next Wednesday, August 8. Massachusetts Governor and Vulture Venture Capitalist ‘Private Equity Executive’ Mitt Romney will be in Basalt tomorrow
The Grand Junction Sentinel is reporting
Source: Obama coming to GJ
The Grand Junction Sentinel updated story indicates the President will be in GJ next Wednesday, August 8.
The Western Slope will be the center of presidential politics for two weeks with President Barack Obama visiting Grand Junction on Aug. 8 and his likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, visiting Basalt on Thursday.
Obama will make his third visit to Grand Junction next week, just a month after a third visit to the Western Slope by Romney in a conference of Republican governors at Basalt High School on Thursday. Doors open for the event at 2 p.m.
No details about the president’s Aug. 8 visit were announced, but it will be the second of Obama’s presidency.
The facts around Mr. Romney’s visit in Basalt tomorrow are scrambled in the Gary Harmon story…tomorrow, next week, a month ago, it is not clear from the word salad that somehow made it past an editor, but a separate story in the Aspen Daily News states that former Massachusetts Governor (and then pro-choice, pro-healthcare-mandate Mr. Romney) will be in the Roaring Fork valley tomorrow.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will be in the Roaring Fork Valley later this week, with a public appearance scheduled at Basalt High School.
Romney will join other Republican governors at the event on Thursday. Doors open at 2 p.m. and it is a free event open to the public. Romney is scheduled to speak beginning at 3:50 p.m.
GOP governors Chris Christie (R-NJ), Nikki Haley (R-SC), Bobby Jindal (R-La.), Bob McDonnell (R-Va.) and Scott Walker (R-Wisc.) are scheduled to speak at the Aspen Institute this evening. It’s unknown if all or some of them will join Romney on Thursday, and whether Romney will arrive in Aspen today.
My guess is that a lot of folks in the Thompson Divide area want to find out which side he is on: does he support local initiatives, area ranchers and Colorado communities or will he side with a billionaire-owned privately held oil company from Texas? I would not be surprised to see a welcoming party…

Could be done by the time its CO’s turn…or not.
if we didn’t have a partisan sec’y of state who is jockeying to disenfranchise voters.
Anyone know when is the latest date for him to issue rules that affect this election?
“unemployed”?

between venture capital and private equity?
. . . venture capital that is about investing in start-ups who are seen to have a promising future (and eventual returns to those investors) from Private Equity which is about taking ownership of a existing under-performing companies with equity, and turning them around, or failing that, disassembling them and cashing in on that equity.
The difference appears to be between building businesses, and salvaging or profitably liquidating businesses.
this one is not turning around either ! Guess we’ll have to fire everyone, raid the pensions and garage sale the rest.
Shucks !
Because Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado are exactly like Texas.
