Shawn Coleman finds his calling

Shawn Coleman elected Obama delegate at 2nd CD convention. Finally, this guy finds his calling, which is national and state politics, not nasty local city politics. Shawn will never get elected to City counsel while he is under 35 years old, especially given his pro-growth positions and his pro-business positions on the downtown boulder planning commission Residents don't want some kid to tell them how to govern their city.

But state and national politics are different. Shawn should get out of poisonous city politics and focus on the state, where youth counts and broad ideas matter. Also, growth has a completely different meaning at the state level, where a broad environmental position is all that is needed for a Democrat. And people that wouldn't even think about having him on city council would happily have him in a state or national position.
