From the Colorado for Obama blog:
Coloradans aren’t the only people working to help Barack win the Rocky Mountain State — thousands of volunteers from states such as Utah, Maine, New York, South Dakota and even Alaska have traveled to Colorado and are knocking on doors and calling folks to get out the vote.
I spoke with a couple of Californians who had arrived in Denver yesterday. Danielle told me why she came to Colorado for the last few days.
There wasn’t much we could do in California so we decided to come to Colorado. This is our big push to get people to vote — to not be complacent, to not get over confident about Barack being ahead in the polls. We’re making people to get out and vote and just do everything we can to make sure we actually win.
Angelo, another Californian, had just returned from knocking on doors when I spoke to him. He told me about one of the people he had met while canvassing.
There was a Republican on my list who I started talking to. He had voted Republican his entire life but he was on the fence — he didn’t like McCain but he didn’t know anything about Obama. I know a bit about Obama, I’m not going to say I’m an expert in any way. But I talked to him. I asked him what mattered to him and tried to put it into context — that it would help you and the ones you care about more if you vote for Obama rather than McCain. And he said he would vote for Barack.
It’s not to late to join the campaign. Sign up to volunteer.
