colorado tends to be a very moderate state.it punishes politicians who get too far in one direction a lot of times and i think senator udall is probably feeling pretty proud of himself today for how much attention that moved got and how talked about it is. i feel like i'm hearing more about people where people sat during the state of the union than what was said during the state of the union. and our delegation certainly sat together and have been very happy to talk about having that hour together on the floor. >> ifill: let's talk about some of the things that were said during the state of the union, megan. there was a lot of talk, for instance, about education and your other senator actually, because he used to be the superintendent of schools in denver has been very involved with this as well. were people talking about this that? was there interest in what the president had to say on that subject? >> absolutely. i mean, first there was a lot of pride that one of denver's real turnaround schools, bruce randolph, got a direct

the colorado river is in it's 7th year of drought and record low levels on the reservoirs. the other ss get water from california. which wildly fluctuates. so i think i don't gamble i just work in california water. you get the same sensation of putting it on the line all the time. we have a large capitol improvement program and it's part of the analysis and it mately the response we have done to some of these challenges. let me show you where our transmission line is. we go from the northern border to the mexican border. three thousand miles of pipe. it's now about 13 feet in diameter and we serve 3 point 2 million people a year and serve an economy of billions. there is my life. you are here. there i am. i'm that corner at the bottom of the pipes in a really bright orange yellow area. we get an average of 8 inches of rain per year. so we - there is very little we can do related to rain fall and local run off. our strategies have to be radically different than strategies that edward and chuck have sitting in portland and seattle and i think if there's anything you take away
