First lady Michelle Obama on Thursday became the latest political celebrity to get involved in Colorado's heated Senate race.
Obama rallied some 1,500 people in Denver to vote for Democratic Sen. Mark Udall as he faces a tight run for a second term.
Republicans have targeted the seat as one of the six they need to win control of the Senate.
Udall narrowly trails his Republican challenger, Rep. Cory Gardner, in recent polls. Democrats are counting on turning out their base voters, especially younger women, to close the gap.
Michelle Obama told the crowd to remember 2008, when her husband was nominated for president in Denver and the economy was listing. She said it has improved since then, thanks to Udall, who was elected in 2008, and other Democratic senators.
"I want to take us back a little bit, to remember how bad things were back then," Obama said. "We were in full-blown crisis mode."
"If we don't elect leaders like Mark ... then we know exactly what will happen," she said. "We will see more interfering in women's private decisions about our health care."
During the midterm elections in 2010, Colorado's other Democratic senator, Sen. Michael Bennet, won by 14,000 votes primarily because of vigorous turnout efforts by Democrats.
Later in the afternoon, Obama addressed a largely student crowd at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, urging the crowd to go vote at a polling station in the same student union where she spoke.
"Bring the cute guy or girl you met at the party last weekend," she said to cheers.
Republicans sent a statement in response to the first lady's visit, calling it proof Udall is a "partisan rubber stamp" for the Obama administration.

The Udall family constitutes a well established political dynasty.
Yeah, but Colorado is primed for some serious voter fraud, given its new election laws (that are tailor-made for Dim shenanigans).
Did she misspeak and call him Mark Uturus?
Correction:
First Lady stumped in Close Colorado Senate Race
Fixed it
So...Cory Gardner HATES my Lady Parts? *SMIRK*
OMG! The Wisconsin race for Governor is falling down this very SAME Rabbit Hole!
Explain to me why Dems always, ALWAYS make a race about abortion, birth control, sex, etc.?
Freakin’ PERVS. I thought what *I* did, ‘behind closed doors’ was MY business and mine ALONE?
Quit draggin’ my Lady Parts into the streets, you creeps!
Maybe, but according to Fox she definitely lied by saying Udall was a 5th generation Coloradoan. He wasn't even born in the State. Maybe he had other members of extended Family that were, bet HE IS NOT. Fat A$$ liar.
And it will do more damage than good.
“Did she misspeak
She may have had a contact high form the Colorado State University druggies and the pot coalition of Ft Collins.
Only in lefty fantasy world, and the media pundits who have an interest in making you think races are close so that you’ll be more likely tune in for coverage, is this race “close”. Udall is toast.
“I want to take us back a little bit, to remember how bad things were back then,” Obama said. “We were in full-blown crisis mode.”
Thank goodness things have improved so much, FOR YOU
Michele. Vacas in Hawaii, Europe, Martha’s vineyard,
designer dresses you don’t even have to buy, it’s
a veritable paradise...
I sure hope so. The Democrat vote fraud machine is already cranked up in Boulder county. I cannot estimate what is happening in Denver county.
The rest of the state just barely outnumbers those two.
" Senator Udall is no doubt a man who means well, however by supporting nearly all of O Obama’s agenda, Senator Udall is guilty of allowing bad things to happen to the citizens of the United States of America."
"Achievements to day::
"A VERY MESSED UP HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REPLACING THE BEST HEALTH CARE IN THE WORLD."
"DECIMATED THE MILITARY AND LEFT OUR COUNTRY VULNERABLE TO SO MANY ENEMIES. FAILED TO MAINTAIN STABILITY IN IRAQ BY WITHDRAWING ALL TROUPES AND LEAVING TURMOIL WHICH HAS CAUSED A FAR MORE DANGEROUS MIDDLE EAST. BECAUSE OF THIS ACTION, THE ENTIRE WORLD IS FAR MORE DANGEROUS".
" MORE THAN DOUBLED OUR NATIONAL DEBT LEAVING OUR HARD EARNED DOLLAR CLOSE TO WORTHLESS AND HUGE INFLATION JUST OFF STAGE".
" SENATOR UDALL VOTED TO GIVE THE UNITED NATIONS CONTROL OVER SMALL ARMS THUS NEGATING THE SECOND AMENDMENT OF OUR CONSTITUTION. WITHOUT THE RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY COULD FIND THEMSELVES IN THE SAME SITUATION AS GERMANS, CUBANS AND RUSSIANS WHEN THEIR GOVERNMENT TOOK THEIR MEANS OF SELF DEFENSE."
" NOW WITH THE WORLD SO THREATENED BY A VERY DANGEROUS AND GROWING ISLAMIC STATE, WHY SEND 3000 TROUPES TO HELP AFRICA FIGHT THE DREADFUL EBOLA? ESPECIALLY WHEN HEALTH WORKERS WHO HAVE SOME IDEA HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES ARE UNABLE TO FULLY AVOID EBOLA?."
"THE LAW, MORALITY, THE FAMILY ARE ALL IN GREATER JEOPARDY SINCE THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN IN OFFICE.
REGARDLESS OF PARTY, THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT YOUR VOTE AND BY ALL MEANS, VOTE."
"SINCERELY,....."
People should wave a couple crackers and a slice of boiled ham and thank her for lunch.
MooShell is the Kiss of Death!
Wishful thinking by yahoo that the race is close; Cory is ahead 6-7 points.
