Welcome Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama field staff

Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 09:30:00 AM EDT


With news of their arrival (more below), I'd like to extend a warm welcome to West Virginia to Clinton and Obama field staff. We look forward to lots of events and, we hope, many candidate visits in the next 8 weeks.

I'd also like to extend a personal welcome to field staff from both campaigns to West Virginia Blue.

Please feel free to create an account here and directly post information about candidate events. You are welcome to participate at this site like anyone else. I do ask that paid campaign staff members clearly identify their position when posting.

Here's the news release... received via email from the West Virginia Democratic Party

AP Reports: Obama, Clinton both plan W.Va. visits this week (4.00 / 1)
From the AP...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama is scheduled to be in West Virginia on Thursday.

His campaign says he'll stop in Charleston and Beckley, but provided no details.

This is the Illinois senator's first trip to the Mountain State since campaigning for the presidential nomination. His last public appearance in West Virginia was at the September 2006 state Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner.

Obama has received the support of at least two high-profile West Virginia Democrats: U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller and U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall.

Obama currently holds a 1,603-to-1,497 lead in overall delegates for the Democratic nomination over U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Clinton plans to visit Charleston and Huntington on Wednesday.

Clinton is scheduled to host a roundtable discussion with veterans at an American Legion Post in Huntington at 10 a.m. Wednesday. She will then travel to Charleston for a town hall meeting at Capital High School at 1:45 p.m., her campaign said Monday.

Welcome back to Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!
