The president's visit to the University of Colorado was his sixth trip to a college campus in the past two weeks.
He told a crowd of 13,000 that he could win Colorado if they and their friends showed up at the polls.
"We have set up a Rocky Mountain rumble to see what school can register more voters, CU or Colorado State," Mr. Obama said.
The president won 72 percent of the vote in this college town four years ago. He'll need a similar margin this year if he wants to keep Colorado's 9 electoral votes.
Some students here say they are enthusiastic about the Obama campaign, but worry there is a sense of complacency among younger voters.

If he has to work to get the youth vote, he is several orders of magnitude beyond screwed. Soon he will be speaking at black only venues because they will be fading too. They have been hurt by Obama’s policies more than any other group.
Y'can't get the columns rented in two months ... everything's taken or gone.
This pathetic regime doesn't know it's dead ...
The Zombie Apocolypse apparently is real ...
They walk among us.
Students will get extra credit for showing up to his speeches. That helps make it look like he is drawing a crowd. Besides, what else does Obama know?
Vote for Obama and you have a 50-50 chance of being able to live off of and with your parents for years after you graduate.

I guess his teleprompter was not working? A Rocky Mountian rumble? Sounds like a disaster to me.
The completely brainwashed are the only ones still buying communism.

Obama is handing out free glow in the dark posters the kids can put on their bedroom ceilings when the move back home.
He was in CO on the 28th of August also.... I keep track of his trips but it’s getting more difficult as they aren’t showing up on his schedule on wwww.whitehouse.gov
I have to wait until I see something online or on the news about where he is.....
I want to see some reimbursement from the DNC for all those flights. Guess I’ll be waiting a long time!!
not twice.. He’s going for the ones that were just out of Jr. High when he was elected.
Obama hopes college kids vote twice....
Once in their home town where they registered at age 18 via absentee ballot.
Once in their college town in person.
