First, as many of you know, I flew out to the Nevada caucuses to help with all the activities. Unfortunately, 24-hours in I learned that my father had passed away. For those of you who I have not gotten back to, I want to thank you for the outpouring of sympathy. I have appreciated every note, card and flowers.

I came back last Sunday to find an incredible level of activity. I must have done 8 interviews with press on Monday, and as many every day after. Wednesday was a great day for Colorado. Even for me who is trying to maintain her neutrality. I went to both campaign events.

Senator Barack Obama attracted historic crowds at Denver University and surprised everyone with the presence of Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg. One count was 14,000 people. All I know is that the arena was filled, along with the lacrosse field and the gym.

That night former President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton arrived at DU to speak on behalf of Senator Hillary Clinton. Although there was a snow storm, 3,000 enthusiastic people listened to speeches on behalf of the campaign.

All of this is great for the Colorado Democratic Party. The outpouring on interest and enthusiasm was just what we wanted when we moved up our caucuses to February 5.

Tomorrow, we are hosting a Caucus Rally at Mountain Ridge Middle School. At 1:00pm, I will be joined by Congressman Mark Udall, Mark Benner, Congressman Ed Perlmutter, Actress Kerry Washington, and former DNC Chair Terry McAuliffe. The address is 10590 Mountain Vista Ridge, Highlands Ranch, CO. Hope to see you there.
