Does anyone know why he became a Republican? Anyone from Colorado? The article seems to imply he was just bending to the changing political winds, which seems spineless even for a politician. --BDD 02:12, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Possible to ensure his chairmanship of the Indian Affairs committee, but that is just speculation. Youngamerican 15:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • The above editor is right. I'm from Colorado. He never showed a change in political ideals, and he remained pro-choice, and fairly liberal. He wanted the chairmanship, and can you really blame him? Editor19841 00:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

Mr. Campbell may well be Catholic, but throughout his career he has always left his religious affiliation unspecified on candidates questionaires and I think that should be reflected here. --Wgbc2032 23:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Ben Nighthorse Campbell

I worked for and with Mr. Campbell while he was General Manager for Sky Ute Downs in Ignacio, CO. I also was Mr. Campbell's jewelery photographer as well. Mr. Campbell and I grew to be very good friends during these few years we worked together. The point that I wish to make is this: Never in my 61 years have I ever had the pleasure of meeting a more genuine, honest, dedicated, helpful and loving human being as Mr. Ben Nighthorse Campbell. I can say this, without a doubt, if all the politicians in Washington D.C. were as genuine and "HONEST" as Mr. Campbell, this country would be in a much better condition. I consider myself a better human being for just knowing Ben. He truly loves his fellow man.
