Colorado Governor Owens was on Hugh Hewitt's show this afternoon, and did a fairly good job, although I think they spent a little too much time on the war, and perhaps not enough on issues closer to a governor's responsibilities. Certainly Governor Owens was happy to plug Colorado's contribution to the war effort.

Given a chance to talk about the rebounding economy, Owens didn't carry that forward to the ongoing debate on state fiscal policy, other than to note that he's a fiscal conservative. When Hugh was in Minnesota, he and Governor Pawlenty discussed at length the governor's support for drug re-importation. Next time, in addition to discussing the illegal immigration issue, I'd like to see Hugh go into that matter as well.
