Hugh Hewitt met with we Denver Republicans at the University Club tonight in a very motivational talk.

He told us he's made his mission keeping the topic of winning the war in Iraq the #1 issue in the 2008 Presidential campaign.

This is his profile from his website: Hugh Hewitt is the host of a daily nationally-syndicated talk radio show heard in more than 100 cities across the county. He is a Professor of Law at Chapman University Law School, the Executive Editor of Townhall.com, and one of the country's most widely read bloggers at HughHewitt.com. Hewitt is the author of eight previous books, including the New York Times' bestseller "If Its Not Close, They Can't Cheat" and "Blog: Understanding The Information Reformation That Is Changing Your World," and the recipient of three Emmys during his decade as an anchor of a nightly news and public affairs show for the Los Angeles PBS affiliate, KCET. He served six years in the Reagan Administration in a variety of posts including in the White House Counsel's office. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School and lives in Southern California. He can be reached at hugh@hughhewitt.com.

Hewitt compared the current Presidential election campaign to the 1864 election, and he recommended that we all read his old professor Doris Kerns-Goodwin's Team of Rivals.

He also recommended Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11
which documents the history of Al-Qaeda from it's start (in Ft. Collins, Colorado!) to today.

Denver could hold a GOP Presidential debate and all the candidates would show up, he suggested. It would be best if only those candidates raising at least 20% of the total funds raised by the front runner be allowed to participate.
