Waak: DNC will help Dems woo unaffiliateds in Colorado

Colorado Democratic Party Chair Pat Waak said Saturday that the Democratic National Convention will showcase and sell her party to Colorado's significant bloc of unaffiliated voters.

"I think that once this convention is over, (Obama) will have a big bounce from that," Waak said.

"There are unaffiliated voters who volunteered to help with this convention, and there are probably a lot who signed up for those tickets to get into Invesco Field," she said. "So I think this is a chance for us to highlight who Barack Obama is, what this ticket is, and most importantly, all the polling I've [been] shown is that he's running way, way ahead among unaffiliated voters - ahead of McCain.

"And so we just want them to be excited about this election and involved in this election right into a fall," she said.
