ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) -- First lady Michelle Obama continues her national campaign swing Thursday with a stop in suburban Denver for Sen. Michael Bennet.

The first lady is expected to tell voters at a fundraising luncheon that it would be a mistake to return Republicans to power next month.

"Mrs. O" has been a powerful fundraiser for the Democrats as she returns to the campaign trail. She stopped in Milwaukee Wednesday for Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, and her speech raised at least $250,000 for his campaign.

Michelle Obama also plans campaign stops in Illinois, Washington, California and Connecticut.

Bennet's campaign says the luncheon is at a private home in Englewood but hasn't said how much they hope to raise.
