Winter/Feingold: Part 2 of more than 1
After the listening session ended, I sped downtown to Rutt Bridges' condo, where Feingold would headline a $250-a-plate fundraiser for Winter.
I believe that besides Winter, Feingold and their staffs, I was the only person to attend both events. But with the exception of dress, there wasn't that much difference between the two. People asked the same questions: the Iraq War, the trampling of our Constitutional rights, global warming. And Winter and Feingold responded with many of the same answers.
Winter, who spent 10 years in the military, spoke with special authority on military matters. I was also impressed by how well versed he has become on environmental issues. He repeated some of Al Gore's cautions about the damage that will be inflicted on national security and the U.S. economy if global warming continues. And he pledged to work with soon-to-be Governor Bill Ritter to make sure that Colorado becomes a leader in the New Energy Economy.

best comment of the morning, in regards to renewable energy from Winter (not word for word, but as close as my tired mind can remember) -
we have 300 days of sunshine a year, and lots of wind, and even more wind when the legislature is in session.
