Poll: Obama ahead by 8 points in Colorado, wins Hispanics 4-to-1

Barack Obama is "firmly ahead" in the hard-fought contest for Colorado's nine electoral votes, polling 53 percent to John McCain's 45 percent, according to a Politico/Insider Advantage poll released Tuesday night.

Oil and gas changes Mesa County politics

For Colorado residents living on the Western Slope, being an outdoors enthusiast is not something they do on the weekends, it's a way of life. Mesa County, home to 120,000 people in 15 communities including Grand Junction, is home to hunters, fisherman and general nature lovers who see the environment as a part of their identity and their culture.
