Obama seeks support of first-time voters

WASHINGTON, April 3 (UPI) -- Barack Obama's Democratic presidential campaign is looking to bring new U.S. voters into the fold, party officials said.

Encouraging first-time voters "is going to be a very big part of how we win," said Steve Hildebrand, Obama's deputy campaign manager.

Obama's campaign will probably start to focus strongly on getting African-Americans and people younger than 35 registered in prime states, the Politico reported Wednesday.
