Over the weekend, Barack Obama returned to Colorado to urge supporters to cast early ballots while John McCain was over in Iowa. Mark Dreyer has more.

Democrat Barack Obama rallied his supporters in the state of Colorado on Sunday.

The Illinois senator was concluding a two-day campaign swing through the crucial western battlegrounds of Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado. And he sought to hammer home his favorite theme, that Americans cannot afford four more years of failed Republican leadership.

Obama has focused on states such as Colorado that allow early voting, urging supporters to cast their ballots before November 4th in the hopes of luring first-time and infrequent voters to the polls.

Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential Candidate, said, "If you will organize with me and march with me and knock on doors with me and make phone calls with me for nine more days, we will not just win Denver, we will win Colorado, we will win this election and you and I together we are going to change the country and we will change world."
