Colorado a swing state? We missed this from the Rocky Mountain News today: "Karl Rove came to town Monday to appear at a fundraiser for the state Republican Party, and President Bush's top political adviser made it clear that Colorado has become a crucial swing state in national politics. 'It's a swing state, no ifs, ands or buts about it,' Rove said in a meeting with the Rocky Mountain News editorial board. 'It's a competitive state. You can't take it for granted.'"

Veto in store for expanded stem cell research? Karl Rove stated that President Bush will use the first veto of his presidency for a stem cell research bill should it pass the U.S. Senate (It has already passed the House), according to the Denver Post. From the article, "President Bush will likely cast the first veto of his presidency if the Senate, as expected, passes legislation to expand federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, White House aide Karl Rove said Monday in Denver. 'The president is emphatic about this,' said Rove - Bush's top political adviser and architect of his 2000 and 2004 campaigns - in a meeting with The Denver Post editorial board."
