Santorum led off the CCU-sponsored Western Conservative Summit last July 29 in Denver, an event at which then-candidates Rick Perry and Herman Cain and then-hopeful John Bolton also spoke.
“Since before the Summit last year, we’ve been in touch with most of the Republican campaigns, including those for Romney, Gingrich, and Paul,” said John Andrews, director of CCU’s think tank, Centennial Institute. “We’ll keep the welcome mat out for all of them as Coloradans weigh the options in 2012.’
“We do not take sides in elections,” Andrews added, “but we’re always honored to give a candidate or officeholder our microphone to talk about the issues and bring the democratic process alive for our students, faculty,and friends in the community.”
