Romney sidesteps questions about Cain
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is declining to weigh in on allegations of sexual harassment against rival Herman Cain.
Romney on Wednesday was asked about Cain during interviews. The former Massachusetts governor told Denver's KUSA-TV that he only knows what he has seen on television and read in the newspapers.
He says questions about sexual harassment should be directed to Cain, not himself.
And he told Houston's KTRK that questions about candidates' personal lives are typically parts of campaigns and often keep some people from seeking public office. He was not asked specifically about Cain during that interview.
Cain has denied the allegations.

Colorado tax defeat a signal of voters' sour mood
DENVER (AP) — A tax vote in Colorado is likely sending a powerful message to policymakers nationwide who wonder if voters will consider paying more for services.
The answer: No way.
Colorado voters this week resoundingly rejected a slight increase in sales and use taxes to shore up public schools decimated by years of budget cuts. It's the only statewide tax hike on ballots this November.
One state lawmaker says Americans are "generous, decent people" who will spend money on something important if they have it, but everybody's hurting in today's economy.
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper declined to back the schools tax.
He said after Tuesday's vote that pinched taxpayers simply aren't ready yet to consider an expansion of taxes, but they aren't ready for a big reduction in government services, either.

Snowstorm zips through Colorado
DENVER (AP) — A fast-moving storm moving across Colorado dumped up to a foot of snow and produced 3-foot snowdrifts on parts of the Eastern Plains.
Forty flights were canceled at Denver International Airport overnight, but airport officials said Wednesday that number was not unusual for a typical day.
