Traffic leading into Red Rocks gridlocked in the hours before the
event. The lines to go through security and enter the venue wound

Colorado by far, and the campaign pulled out the stops for it.
Supporters in the audience clacked together Thundersticks, creating a sound akin to a stampede. Musicians Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins warmed up the crowd. Colorado Rockies legend Todd Helton showed up to give his endorsement. And New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, a rising star in the Republican Party, also was on the bill, telling the crowd:
“There’s a guy backstage who has the answers to the problems we face.”

“What a place this is,” he proclaimed. He then paused, and the cheers of the crowd cascaded forward.”…
