COLUMBIA - Some of Obama's biggest Missouri supporters flew across the state to generate support for the presidential hopeful.

With time ticking down to the primary, senator Claire McCaskill and other local supporters stopped in Columbia to encouraged volunteers to get out the vote.

The Super Tuesday primary is just days away and volunteers are trying to make every moment count.

Obama volunteer, Adam Bickford, spent the last month knocking on doors. 

"Our votes do matter. I really believe that our country works best the more inclusive it is and so I want to talk to everyone that I can," Bickford said.

Bickford and other volunteers shared their passion for Obama's message. Democratic Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill also joined in the rally.

"I feel this excitement out there. And it doesn't happen very often that people really believe, and especially the young people. This is an opportunity to engage the next generation in our democracy," McCaskill said.

The volunteers are fired up and ready to go door-to-door and to get out the vote. McCaskill said "all eyes are on Missouri" as Super Tuesday approaches and the candidates are looking at Missouri more than ever before.
