Obama Back In Denver Metro Area Thursday

  • 13 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

UPDATE: Politico’s Charles Mahtesian profiles Colorado as one of “9 states where the race will be won” today, underscoring all the attention we’re getting:

The Romney formula depends on turning out the GOP base, especially on the energy-oriented Western Slope and in El Paso County’s Colorado Springs, home to a politically active evangelical Christian community and a heavy military influence. This year, the expectation among Republicans is that Romney will also gain more traction in the Denver suburbs than John McCain.

The Obama strategy closely resembles the one successfully employed by Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010. Bennet ran well among Hispanics and benefited from an enormous gender gap – 17 points, according to exit polls. The same themes Bennet used – notably abortion rights and contraception – have been put to use again in Colorado and were underscored at the Democratic convention in Charlotte last week.

There’s a reason the president campaigned in Colorado with Sandra Fluke in early August, and why he’ll be back again later this week. [Pols emphasis]

And here we thought Sandra Fluke was just about getting under Greg Brophy’s skin.

The above certainly makes more sense.

Why don’t they just rent a house? FOX 31’s Eli Stokols:

President Barack Obama will make his first post-convention campaign stop in Colorado this Thursday with a rally in Golden, right smack in the middle of Jefferson County, one of three suburban metro area counties that will likely determine who wins this state’s nine electoral votes and, perhaps, the White House.

The rally will take place at the Golden Community Center in Lions Park at 11 a.m., the campaign announced Monday morning…

On Monday, the Romney campaign released a memo from its pollster, Neil Newhouse, advising the media not to “get too worked up about the latest polling.”

“While some voters will feel a bit of a sugar-high from the conventions, the basic structure of the race has not changed significantly,” Newhouse writes. “The reality of the Obama economy will reassert itself as the ultimate downfall of the Obama Presidency, and Mitt Romney will win this race.”

Here’s your list of ticket pickup locations. Nothing on the Romney-Ryan campaign calendar for Colorado as of now for this week, but if you wait a few minutes, that’s liable to change.

  1. Obama’s team is playing offense here.  They know, and Romney’s team knows, that Romney’s list of swing states is dwindling.  Colorado’s at the top of that list right now; if Obama can open up a solid lead here, the Romney campaign will be (even more) back on its heels.

      1. The irony. Liberals make fake tickets to see Romney and Ryan and chuckle, but Obama requires a photo ID. And none needed to vote! I seriously don’t understand how liberals hold these contradictory positions in their minds.

          1. when a few people here on pols mentioned they went to an Obama event without having their ID checked.

            Either that, or it dosen’t fit into the pathetic narrative.

            He’s slightly addled today.  Nothing to do with the recent polling, either.  Nothing at all.

        1. That you come on here to shill day in and day out, yet still have not answered a basic question…

          Do you support your party’s platform, since you some here with your party’s name in your handle, a reasonable question:

          Specifically, 1) is Agenda 21 an existential threat to the United States and the camel’s nose to a New World Order?  and 2) should raped women be forced to bear an attacker’s child?  

          I seriously don’t understand how conservatives hold their own platform in such fear, as if it were highly toxic or something.  

  2. The media completely overlooks the fact that campaign funding is about more than negative ads.  The organization structure is in place at the local level and is composed of paid field staff and local volunteers who are racing the October 9th deadline to register voters.  My OFA group got tickets to the rally and I imagine a lot of the other counties are sending OFA volunteers to.  It is an OFA rally and without giving too much away, the OFA grassroots organization is fully organized and funded and operating in a neighborhood near you.  If GOTV surges at the end win elections then OFA is well positioned at this point to help Obama.
