Presidential Candidates Come to Aberdeen
Posted by mightylibrarian on June 3, 2008
South Dakota is left off most presidential primaries and elections, but this year the two major Democratic presidential candidates have visited South Dakota a number of times. On Saturday, Senator Barack Obama spoke at the Aberdeen Civic Arena to a crowd about 2000 people. He spoke about the big picture and some policy details. A few weeks ago, Senator Hillary Clinton spoke in Bath, a town not even listed by the US Census Bureau. And yesterday, President Bill Clinton campaigned for Hillary on the NSU campus. About 1200 people attended the event. It was a pleasant evening and he combined folksy charm with policy details. Photos on President Clinton’s visit are on the left bar. It is nice to get the attention without the enormous crowds, all the campaign calls or thousands of TV/radio ads.
