DENVER - First lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are bringing the presidential campaign back to Colorado.

On Wednesday, the first lady will be in Fountain and Durango, and on Thursday, she will be in Douglas County talking to supporters.

Vice President Joe Biden plans to stop in Boulder for a fundraising event for Democratic President Barack Obama on Oct. 16.

This year, Colorado is a hotly contested battleground in the race between Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. The two men held the first of their debates in Denver last week.
