If a random selection of students on the University of Colorado campus is any indication, Obama is sitting pretty.
Of the more than 20 students we talked to, every one of them said they either had voted or planned to vote. Only a few knew someone personally who was not planning to vote -- and, from the sound of it, they take a lot of heat for it.
Dustin Manley, a math major in the ROTC, said he voted because "people chase you down if you don't."
"You don't see this so much now that it's gotten cold, but, a few weeks ago, every 100 feet, there was a booth with some group asking if you voted," said Jake Partin, an active duty Marine.
Others are savoring the chance to vote -- not just by mail, but in person on Nov. 4.
"Oh, my God, yes," said physics major Erin MacDonald when asked if she plans to vote.
McDonald said she won't vote early because she wants to have the experience of voting on Election Day.
