Whether you are watching the convention on TV, or in are in Denver I want to welcome you to the West.
As you watch the convention unfold, it is important to remember the "New West" - Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming -- is emerging as the future of the Democratic Party.
In 2004, George Bush won all the states listed above. Today, four of those states are considered up for grabs - and if you ask me, are likely to be won by Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In recent years Democrats have picked up two Senate seats, seven House seats, in addition to winning two state legislative chambers. And Mark and Tom Udall are well positioned to win Senate seats in Colorado and New Mexico this year.
Throughout the week, you will hear from some amazing western leaders. Be sure to watch Governor Napolitano and Governor Schweitzer speak from the podium Tuesday night. They are two true leaders of the New West.
So as you watch the convention this week remember, with four battleground states in 2008, the road to the White House will run through the West!
