First dibs when the First Lady comes to town

by: Jason Springer

Mon Jul 13, 2009 at 12:00:00 PM EDT



While the President will be here Thursday to campaign with Governor Corzine, the Washington Times lets us know that won't be the only Obama visit:
When New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine announced that President Obama would headline his re-election rally, more than 52,000 people signed up, forcing the governor to move it to a bigger location and issue Obama fans IOUs.

Corzine aides called the enthusiastic and quick response to the upcoming rally "absolutely outstanding" and promised that those turned away would have first dibs when first lady Michelle Obama and administration officials come before the November election - or if the president makes a return trip.

So if you don't get into the event on Thursday, it may not be your last chance to see the President or other members of his family in the state on behalf of the Governor. On the other side of the aisle, the GOP has Michael Steele here today, Newt Gingrich coming soon, and Sarah Palin in exile.
