People are looking for answers," Chandler said.Voters agreed. Many said they're more interested in financial proposals than personal attention from the campaigns. Many voters passing by the hotel seemed completely uninterested that McCain was returning to the state for a town hall-style meeting."I would be nice -- although unrealistic, I guess -- for Sen. McCain or Sen. Obama to talk specifics about the bailout will or won't do," said Ken Barrows, a Denver attorney who specializes in foreclosure defense and has seen the housing tailspin firsthand."Both of the candidates could explain a little more about what they'll do about the economy. That's the biggest thing right now."A political scientist at the Colorado State University-Pueblo, Mark Gose, said the razor-thin polling margins separating the two candidates in Colorado mean there won't be any slowdown in presidential stumping here over the next month. But Gose said that while they're here, the candidates will be speaking to the entire nation, not just Colorado voters.McCain is planning remarks at Gose's campus the day after Wall Street responds to a possible bailout deal in Congress."This may be one of McCain's more important speeches, here in Pueblo, telling us, what does this all mean," Gose said.Voters didn't seem impressed by where the speeches were coming from."I can see why they're coming here," Barrows said.
