Small business owners in Pueblo, a Democratic stronghold in Colorado that will be the host to another Obama visit this Saturday, are not too happy about the presidential hopefuls latest visit. According to Face the State, some of them are downright mad.
Many businesses along Pueblo's Union Avenue Historic District are being forced to shut down for all of Saturday. "Sheila Glanville-Conlee, owner and curator of Amoré Antiques on Union Ave., says a Secret Service agent came into her store Thursday morning and told her she had to close her business on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for security reasons" even thought the Obama rally will not begin until 3 p.m. that afternoon. Outraged, Glanville-Conlee has made up her mind that she will be a “Pueblo Democrat voting for McCain" (Face the State).
Will Glanville-Conlee's sentiments be shared by others and will it make a difference come Election Day? Although small business outrage might get McCain some support in Pueblo, Obama's appearance is likely to produce more excitement than upset overall.
