Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama told supporters at a Colorado fundraiser Sunday that his lack of experience in Washington is not necessarily a bad thing.

"When you say I don't have enough experience, what you really mean is that I haven't been in Washington long enough," he said in what has become a familiar refrain at campaign stops. "I've been in Washington long enough to know Washington needs to change."

He appealed for supporters to get out the vote and for help with fundraising, telling them "this campaign is a vehicle for your hopes and dreams."

Campaign officials said they did not know how much Obama raised at the fundraiser.
