SHOT 2/5/08 6:59:35 PM - Young and old seem to have gathered behind Democratic candidate Barack Obama as his campaign gathers momentum. Democratic voters gathered at Horace Mann Middle School in Denver, Co. during the Colorado Caucus (during Super Tuesday) to vote for a Democratic candidate for the upcoming Presidential election. Multiple Democratic precincts met at the school and turnout was easily said to be the largest seen in recent history.

A caucus is most generally defined as a meeting of supporters or members of a political party or movement.One meaning is a meeting of members of a political party or subgroup to coordinate members' actions, choose group policy, or nominate candidates for various offices. The term is frequently used to discuss the procedures used by some states to select presidential nominees, such as the Iowa caucuses, the first in the modern presidential election cycle.
