Editors note: This is the final installment of the Cortez Journals weekly roundup of campaign news.
A 4-year-old Fort Collins girl made international news and gave voice to the nation this week when she burst into tears while listening to a radio news story about the presidential election.
Im tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney, Abigael Evans said through tears in a video her mom posted to YouTube.
Her mom assured Abby that it will all be over soon.
But before its over, Coloradans are getting to see just a bit more of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney.
Romney campaigns today in Colorado Springs and tonight at an outdoor concert venue south of Denver.
Vice President Joe Biden will be in Pueblo and Arvada today.
President Barack Obama returns Sunday for a rally in Aurora with singer Dave Matthews.
It will be Obamas 13th trip to Colorado this year and Bidens second. For Romney, it will be his 12th trip (including some multi-day visits). His running mate, Paul Ryan, has been here five times.
