From the Colorado for Obama blog.

Last month, when Barack accepted the Democratic nomination in Denver, he promised to return to Colorado soon. Today, he fulfilled that promise, visiting both Grand Junction and Pueblo.

Barack’s visit to Pueblo was one of the biggest political events ever held in the city and the energy was incredible. People drove from across the state to see the senator.

Judy and Linda, two sisters from Pueblo, showed up at the Colorado State Fairgrounds for the rally at 9:30 this morning. I talked to them after the event.

This was Judy’s first time seeing Barack speak. She said:

"He talked about everything we need. We need change. This event made history."

Here are some photos from the event:
