Barack Obama is spending this Wednesday in pursuit of Western votes: He had a “community gathering” this morning in Denver. A recent poll gave Obama a slight lead in Colorado, which holds caucuses on Super Tuesday. Denver County backed Jerry Brown over Bill Clinton in the 1992 Democratic primary. From there, Obama heads to a rally in Phoenix. (Fun fact: Arizona is the only state outside of New England that has given victories to all four recent Democratic presidential candidates: Ted Kennedy in 1980, Michael Dukakis in 1988, Paul Tsongas in 1992, and John Kerry in 2004.)

Hillary Clinton is looking to the South, with a town hall this morning in Little Rock, Arkansas (a state she should have little trouble winning next week). Then she’s off to Atlanta, where she will speak at the Georgia Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner. Georgia is another of the handful of states where Obama has caught up to her in the polls, but she may be hoping to do well in the northern part of the state now that John Edwards (from neighboring North Carolina) is out of the race.
