Obama in South East MO

Obama:Choice in November will be clear

The crowd was welcoming, applauding warmly at several points, and appreciative when Obama noted that the suit he wore, a Unite HERE suit made by union workers, "fit like a glove." And they gave him another cheer when he promised to return to Cape Girardeau later in the fall campaign to continue the fight.

Among the crowd were three generations of one family — Susanne Hildebrand, her daughter, Brooke Clubbs, and Clubbs' son, Eli. After it was over, Hildebrand said she was confirmed in her support for the Illinois Democrat. "To hear him talk so intelligently and so professionally, it is clear he is not pulling the wool over your eyes."

Obama has a commanding, but not decisive, lead among delegates to the Democratic National Convention. But he hardly mentioned his party rival, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, instead focusing his attention on issues raised by the crowd and contrasting his positions with McCain.

Cape Girardeau one of the most hard core RW places in MO. That people are interested in what he has to say is great news. Receiving favorable press from the Republican governor's hometown paper is better news!

Missouri is definitely in play with Obama as our nominee.
