In Obama's final visit to Colorado before Election Day, he and wife Michelle urged supporters to continue their Get-Out-the-Vote efforts.
The prevalence of advance voting in Colorado, over 56% of voter's in the state have already cast their ballots, made for a different atmosphere at the rally. With the campaign aware the most of the crowd had already voted, Obama Several asked supporters to turn their sights now to people who haven't yet cast their ballots. "We can't afford to sit back or slow down. We've got to win Colorado," said Obama (CBS Channel 4 Denver).
Obama also poked fun at Vice President Dick Cheney's endorsement of McCain given earlier that day in Wyoming.
"President Bush is sitting out the last few days before the election. But earlier today, Dick Cheney came out of his undisclosed location and hit the campaign trail. He said that he is, and I quote, 'delighted to support John McCain,' " Obama said. "I'd like to congratulate Sen. McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Sen. McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it" (The Denver Post).
