From The Montrose Daily Press on Barack Obama's visit to Colorado yesterday: "Beyond the energy issue, Obama talked about his understanding of the importance of Western water, issues important to rural America and recent news of the nation's economy. Obama voted in favor of the Farm Bill, while Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain voted against every bill in the last 15 years, Ritter said...Obama's support of farming, and the intertwined issue of water, is something [Jayne Bilberry, Montrose County Democratic Party chairwoman] said would appeal to Western Slope voters. 'Water is important to us,' she said. 'Maybe some people think water is not a significiant issue in this campaign, but it is to the people who need it for their farms and to continue their rural livelihood.'"
