That's just Colorado residents. OMG.
DENVER -- Didn't sign up Wednesday to get a ticket to see Barack Obama at Invesco Field at Mile High? You may be too late.
More than 60,000 Coloradoans have already requested community credentials for the final night of the Democratic National Convention, so everyone who signs up now will be wait-listed, Obama's campaign said Thursday.

"This incredible response and excitement shows that there is a huge appetite for change in Colorado," said Anne Filipic, Obama's general election director.
The Democratic National Committee said it has been flooded with calls and some people had a hard time getting through the hotline number ( 888-468-7404) to request tickets. However, officials say the phone system was never down.
More than 76,000 seats are available for what is being billed as a "historic night." Obama is the first black man to accept the nomination for president for a major party. It's also the 45th anniversary of the Martin Luther King Jr. Speech.
