Barack Obama's Colorado Campaign Coordinator sat down with Colorado Confidential for a Q&A.

Here are some excerpts from that interview.


Why Colorado? For a few reasons. One, the whole Rocky Mountains is emerging in political importance, and especially trending blue. I think Sen. Obama's message is resonating with those independent voters in the Southwest and Rocky Mountains. We haven't done any polling in Colorado, but polls in other states show he's very popular with independent voters.


We think we have the best chance to win Colorado.


The second part of that is: It's a caucus state. It's a town hall setting. You meet in person. You've got to go to a meeting for an hour and vote with your body. Historically, not a lot of people go.


We think Obama's grassroots energy plays right into that. We're able to turn folks out to the caucus that have never participated before. We know we're changing the demographic of the caucus.
