that goes to mitt romney s platform. all right. ryan, let me talk to you right now. we know the president won colorado in 2008. he gave his accentance speech in denver. let s look at the break down. we have five million people in colorado. 81% white and 4% african-american and 20% latino which is strong support for the president. we don t want to do this along color lines because the president is the president of the united states of america. however, let s look at the demographic break down and tell me, ryan, how you think it plays for the president there in colorado. especially with the rising latino electorat in this country, specifically in states like colorado and out west, the bullying of the right wing is coming home to roost for the republican party. opposing a road map to citizenship and standing in the way of the dream act is not the way to win over the vote of new american immigrants most of whom moved here to raise a family in a land of freedom and opportunity.
for romney and ryan. if you want to get our country back on track and reconstructing the middle explas putting americans back to work we are giving a campaign speech here. ryan you are done because guess what, that is the first time you and i have spoken and i gave you a little leeway, but you come up with a talking place which i hate. i am not taking sides here by any means. make note of that. let me go back to you, angela. i want you to close on this for me. you mentioned how you claimed the economy in colorado is horrible. you had 7,000 jobs added last month. according to one local economist there, she says the trend is going in the right direction. are you afraid that momentum may play against governor romney in colorado 1234 . i don t think it will. look at the ballot initiative. you have a democrat governor and democrat legislature, the bottom line is people will vote their pocket books.
mccain. we are seeing people aren inning gauged and showing up to vote. if democrats are trailing in party id and if republicans come out big and have a huge turnout, what will that mean for the president and his chances of winning a second term? i will say two things on that. going back to the point i made earlier, people are turning out early to vote. look at the battle ground states 1k3 almost always have early voting states. colorado, iowa, florida. the numbers of people are casting votes and they don t match the numbers that we have seen. and more importantly, look, it is a trick that this comes down to a set of states and we talk about how we will win the presidency. if you look across the board we have seen strong democratic registration numbers. in north carolina we added 250,000 new reg straints to the reg straints to the polls. the majority of whom live in democratic precincts and come from democratic backgrounds. so the polls are going to say what they will say.
and they are overtly hostile to immigrants. how are you saying that? there are people who are pushing an agenda that seeks to take latinos in this country and make them second class citizens. people who moved here like you and me. let s bring it down to colorado. it is an important state. we are talking about nine electoral votes. it is going to be a key deciding factor in this race. i want to be specific there. the president had great support there in 2008. i want to know if you think the president can maintain that. it is neck and neck. what should he do to keep his base on his side. specifically in colorado. if mitt romney thinks he will win colorado and if he hangs his hopes on winning colorado he will be sorely disappointed on election day. president obama has been leading him in the polls there for months now. he is above 50% in most of the polls i have seen. i just don t think if mitt romney is going to try and win this election in a state like colorado and the republica
what is generally considered a humble trade. that s obviously working in a high end restaurant, but this will add 1.5 billion jobs to the american economy over the next decade. plenty of opportunities in an unexpected sector for those who want a new start. back to you. and you can work your way up. that s the main thing people are saying. you can get in where you get in and work hard and it will payoff. $30 and $35 an hour is not bad. and then what happens in the end you get hair like guy s, spruced up and lots of product. a quick break. when we come back new violence rocking syria despite a cease-fire. what each side is saying about the broken truce. and campaigning in the battleground state of colorado. why it is now a must win for both candidates. we are going to make it happen, colorado. you need to make it it happen. we can do it together. i love this country. i believe in america.
