Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, speaking to a young crowd of about 45,250 at Colorado State University, urged them to vote early, to keep the faith and promised to find ways to help with tuition if they were willing to serve their country. “I’m going to make a deal with you,” he said. “If you’re willing to commit to joining the military, to joining the Peace Corps, or whatever way you decide to serve, then we are going to make sure you have the money to go to college, no ifs, ands or buts.” Speaking on the lawn to students who had been gathering since 4 a.m., Obama urged them to put an end to the philosophies of President George Bush and Sen. John McCain.
