Red Blue Road Trip - Sterling, CO - Oct 24 - Part 7

Sterling is a small community on the edge of Eastern Colorado. The town is heavily Republican and has not changed much in the last decade. The household income is well below the Colorado average, with many people employed in construction or trucking. Sterling and the surrounding area went for Bush, but Colorado has gained the attention of the Democrats recently. On the day we visited Sterling the McCain campaign pulled out of Colorado, essentially ceding the state to Obama.
