McCain rolled through Colorado making three campaign stops on Friday. He continued to portray himself as a defender of the middle class who loves being the underdog.
In his first appearance Friday morning in Denver, McCain pulled out all the stops with an introduction from former Denver Bronco's quarterback, John Elway. The football icon, known for his fourth-quarter comebacks told the Denver crowd that John McCain " 'knows a thing or two about comebacks' and expressed confidence that McCain would defy predictions that he will go down to defeat" (The Washington Post).
At the appearance, Sen. McCain hit his opponent hard on his tax policies saying, "Senator Obama is more interested in controlling wealth than in creating it, in redistributing money instead of spreading opportunity. I'm going to create wealth for all Americans by creating opportunity for all Americans" (The Washington Post).
At his next appearance in with small business owners in Colorado Springs, McCain continued to attack Obama's tax policies. "The answer to a slowing economy is not higher taxes, but that is exactly what is going to happen when the Democrats have total control of Washington," said McCain. "We can't let that happen. He ended by calling the small business owners "the economic hope for the future" (AFP).
