About 12,500 Turn Out For Colorado Democratic Caucuses

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado Democrats say about 12,500 people turned out for caucuses across the state.

Democrats have no contested presidential contest, so their precinct caucuses on Tuesday night attracted little attention. Democrats also have no statewide officers or contested congressional primary battles, so Democrats discussed more local matters as well as President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.

Colorado will send 86 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. in September.
