Obama heads to Sunshine State
From CNN Ticker Producer Alex Mooney
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, a visible presence on the campaign trail this election season, heads to Florida Friday for a campaign rally with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis. Davis faces a close race against Republican state Attorney General Charlie Crist for the office being vacated by Jeb Bush. The freshman Democrat will attend a rally in Miami with Davis, as well as Lt. Governor Nominee Daryl Jones, former Rep. Carrie Meek, and Florida Democratic Party Chair Karen Thurman. Obama, a possible presidential hopeful in 2008, has assumed an active campaign role ahead of the Midterm elections, dropping in on many of the country's closest races in the past several weeks. |
