Obama in Bloomington

Well, we missed Sen. Obama's visit to Bloomington. Cathy was in Muncie at a conference and I was chained to my desk at City Hall. Even if I had more notice, I probably wouldn't have gone to see him. He didn't give a speech, but instead just stopped by at the Women's Little 500 race. The proverbial shaking of hands and kissing of babies. After leaving the race, he walked up Kirkwood Ave. and stopped in Nick's English Hut. I heard it was a madhouse. This is just a block or so from Cathy's Office. If she had been in town, she would have just had to stick her head out the window to see him! Maybe he'll be back in the next few weeks to do a real campaign visit.
