A few Colorado politicians opened up the night, then introducing Colorado Rockies baseball player Todd Helton to the crowd, his introduction was the first truly loud moment of the night.
Following Helton, came country music star Rodney Atkins, who gave a great show, singing songs about the greatness of America, as well as some of his other hits. He in turn was followed by Kid Rock, who gave what for him was a toned down performance, mostly by it's acoustic nature. Both musicians gave a few words of why Romney was the right guy.
When the music ended, a few more speakers gave their talks, with New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez giving a well crafted speech and then coming back out to introduce Paul Ryan. Ryan's speech was superb and to the point. He showed off his qualities and had the leadership we'd come to expect.
However, the Romney that came out after Ryan was not the one we'd seen in the debates, or at CPAC Colorado. Romney at first seemed overwhelmed by the sheer mass of the crowd. His speech came off slow and long winded, and caused some interest to be lost. We got to see the politician much more than the leader that we'd come for. Most of the crowd was simply too excited by the night to stop cheering for him, but it was obvious that a lot of his support is still not for Romney, simply anti Obama.
One thing is sure though, Colorado is definitely not a clean cut victory for Obama, no matter what the main stream media says. Colorado is very likely still the purplest state in the country, and we'll still be waiting for election day to find out who the state will pick.
