Regarding a Bloomington visit by Barack Obama today, we've heard two credible possibilities:

* 12 pm at the Sample Gates

* ca. 4 pm at the women's Little 500 race.

Keep in mind that neither may prove true.

Are you willing to (even obliquely) share the source for the 12 pm one? I am considering leaving work to go but does that time frame fit with Columbus?

let's just say i have a special relationship with the man upstairs.

i would not alter your day's plans unless the information was more explicit (and reliable).

I have a view of the Sample Gates from my office window, I'll let you guys know if I see anything of interest.

he's doing a town hall in columbus at 12:30 so that's probably a no on sample gates

his next deal is terre haute at 8pm so the 4pm one is possible

hmm...doubt he'll be here at 12, since he's speaking in columbus at 11:30.

I am resoundingly unimpressed with the campaign right now. "Hey, Barack Obama might show up at some time in some place in Bloomington, or he might not." is a really shitty way to do things.

eh, does it really matter? he'll make a more formal visit at some point in the near future.

Yeah, I was eatin' at Qdoba and saw no sign of the Obama at noon.

But I do here rumor he was in Columbus speaking at that time. Just a thought, you might want to check them there sources. ;)

it wasn't a rumor -- he had a scheduled campaign stop there. but he had originally been scheduled to speak there at 9:00 am, making a stop in bloomington at noon feasible.
