Barack Obama's Tazewell Campaign Office Opens

The Obama Campaign opened an office in Tazewell County today and a fairly large crowd showed up for the event. I went, even though I was a little under the weather.

A couple of pictures of the event...

County campaign coordinator, MarileeI met the campaign's Tazewell coordinator, Marilee, and realized after I left that I didn't get her last name or contact info. I'll post that later.

Several of the county's constitutional officers attended the event - Commonwealth Attorney Dennis Lee, Clerk of Court Buddy Blevins, and Sheriff H.S. Caudill.

Tazewell Democratic Party Chairman David Larimer was also there.

Puckett and Bowling both promoted party unity. Bowling supported Hillary in the primaries but was clearly excited about the Obama-Biden ticket. Puckett talked about the need to focus on the stark contrast between Obama and McCain.
