Hi, Ken Salazar

Sen. Ken Salazar and Bob Edgar

Day Two at the Big Tent started sleepily, but the place is hopping now.  Sen. Ken Salazar stopped by and did a long round through the place -- including a short hello with Bob Edgar (see the pic).

I caught Salazar on his way out (no picture) and introduced myself.

Before I could get out my question, "Will you support public financing for Congress?" Salazar cut me off: "Common Cause! Campaign finance reform.  I want to do something about campaign finance reform," he said.  A little surprised, I thanked him, said we're working on public financing, and handed him a flyer about the Fair Elections Now Act.  Getting a moderate Senator like Salazar on board would be terrific for our prospects to pass the bill next Congress.
