The heat is on

Denver's high today was 59 degrees--ten degrees below the previous low high, if you know what I mean, set in 1933, and almost 30 degrees below the usual high temp for mid-August, 87. It's snowing in the mountains.

Predictably, this makes the campaigners reach for even more outlandish scares.

He picks on one campaigner in particular.
