Obama Fighting Hard For Colorado

The McCain campaign continues to deny reports that it is ceding Colorado to Barack Obama.
"We see the race tightening both internally and in public polling. We are within striking distance in the key battleground states we need to win," said Jill Hazelbaker, the McCain campaign's national communications director.
Gov. Sarah Palin is on to her next stop, leaving Alaska "First Dude" Todd Palin to campaign alone today in Glenwood Springs and Denver.
The Obama campaign, on the other hand, is in full swing. Not only is Sen. Joe Biden here today and tomorrow, but check out the other political magnets holding rallies the next few days .[More...]
Add that to 9 rallies in 7 Colorado cities this Saturday to get out the Hispanic/Latino vote which will be led by Gov. Bill Richardson and others.
If McCain loses in Colorado, I don't see how anyone can say it's because he was at a financial disadvantage. He's running plenty of ads on TV. It seems like he just doesn't have the support of his own party -- leaders who are willing to get out on the campaign trail and stump for him the way Obama does. At least not in Colorado.
