Obama campaign recruits at Pride celebrations across U.S.

Hundreds of volunteers were dispatched this past weekend to LGBT Pride celebrations in major cities across the country - including Denver - to collect contact information from supporters of President Barack Obama. 

Coordinators said the volunteers found receptive crowds, perhaps due to the president’s recent embrace of marriage rights for same-sex couples. 

“I think people are just tremendously grateful,” said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic strategist.
