McCain Reinforcing the Troops in Colorado

John McCain has opened up another volunteer headquarters in Fort Collins, CO following the visit of running mate Sarah Palin last week. This is part of McCain's new get-out-the-vote effort in one of the elections most important battleground states. Fort Collins Now reports "McCain Colorado spokesman Tom Kise said the campaign has 10 offices, including the one in Fort Collins, and is working with 13 county party offices acting as satellite offices. 'We’ve got a very aggressive (get-out-the-vote) program, aggressively reaching out to people through phones, person-to-person contact,' he said. 'We’re doing that through targeted efforts, making sure we’re finding people how they live, who they are, versus just a shotgun approach of walking down the street and talking to every person on the street.' Volunteers and organizers are working every day," he said.

This new effort is probably an attempt to match the amount of effort Barack Obama has been putting into turning Colorado blue. Obama already has a large ground force in Fort Collins and many other places in Colorado as well.
