I was in Boulder, Colo., Monday where I attended a town hall event for Democratic Congressman Jared Polis. I wrote about the event for NRO today in relation to the broader political situation in the state, which is an interesting bellwether. Colorado is a very independent-minded state politically, and the state went for Obama last November by nine points. Now the president has some of his lowest approval ratings in the Centennial State.

Everyone is obviously animated about the health-care debate, particularly in Boulder, which is one of the most liberal enclaves in the country. So I thought I would post some photos from the Polis event. While Obamacare opponents were obviously outnumbered, they made an impressive showing considering the locale.

But first a quick video. Now I realize this isn’t the most exciting video in the world, but if you had any doubt about whether or not the public option is a trojan horse for socialized medicine, here’s a video of a crowd in Boulder chanting, “What do we want? SINGLE PAYER. What will we settle for? PUBLIC OPTION.” Obama’s liberal supporters sure seem to think it’s a step in that direction:
