[updated] ‘Roots News: Cleveland Obama organizing event, 2/17/08


From Jerid, with photos:

As the program started to begin I scanned the great hall and counted over 400 folks in attendance. We had people from the Heights, Cleveland proper, Brecksville, East Cleveand, even folks from as far west as Bay Village. It wasn’t too bad for a late Sunday afternoon. And to top things off, the campaign announced that it was the third straight day they’d been able to turn out over 300 folks for an event (there was a rally on Friday and Ted Kennedy was in the area Saturday morning).

The event was held at the at the Civic/New Spirit Church on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights.

Thanks for writing about it, Jerid.

Also over the weekend, David of Ohio Valley Politics succeeded in getting into a Bill Clinton event in Marietta, but Lisa Renee was not as lucky with Bill in Toledo.

UPDATE: David on the Bill Clinton event he attended.
