Bennet sat down with The Colorado Statesman on July 3rd. Campaign spokesman Trevor Kincaid accompanied Bennet. Below is the transcript of the conversation.Colorado Statesman (CS): (You’ll be on your) bus tour, all week?
Michael Bennet (MB): This is sort of the kick off to the last five weeks or so of the primary season, and then hopefully going into the general. It’s really a continuation of what I’ve been doing since I was put in my job, which is that most Fridays and Saturdays I’m back (in Colorado) and I’m out doing this all over the state. There are almost 25,000 miles — event after event after event. And this isn’t going to be a lot different, except the family gets to come this week because it’s July Fourth.
CS: Do you find that in different parts of the state, people want to talk about very different issues, or are they pretty much similar on the West Slope and the Eastern Plains?
MB: At least what they want to talk about with me — it may be different with the gubernatorial candidates, but as they think about the role of the federal government and they think about the policy issues that relate to the work that I do. Actually there’s much more similarity than there is difference. That is not necessarily true in terms of perspective, but in terms of the topics that people want to cover, there’s an awful lot of similarity.
CS: One of your Republican opponents, Jane Norton, lists the war on terror as one of the top issues. Are you finding that people are really concerned with that as an issue, or is it perhaps lower down on the list?
MB: If we define it as the war in Iraq and Afghanistan — can we do that? - More –
