Presidential Candidates in Denver This Week
Just three weeks after they faced off at the University of Denver’s Sturm Hall, presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will concurrently be making a late-game sweep of the Denver metro area this week.
Romney and running mate Paul Ryan will, perplexingly, be hosting a “Victory Rally” at Red Rocks tomorrow evening, fewer than 24 hours after the Republican sits down with the president for their third and final debate this cycle. The GOP ticket will be joined on stage by country musician Rodney Atkins and “rapper” Kid Rock. Although (paradoxically) Mitt Romney counts a few endorsements from those in the porn industry, his appearance with Kid Rock likely marks the first time he’ll ever appear on stage with someone who features prominently in a sex tape. Tickets are free, and if you consider yourself an “American Bad Ass,” you can pick them up here. Doors upen at 4:00 PM and the event begins at 6:30 PM.
President Barack Obama will also be in Denver this week, visiting City Park for a rally on Wednesday afternoon. Tickets are available for that event here and doors open at 12:00 PM.
Although Colorado is still very much in play this year, with only a few weeks left until polls close, this very well may be the last chance to get an up-close and in-person glimpse of either presidential candidate. There are other swing states, you know. It certainly marks the last time both will be here simultaneously.
