Bill Clinton at ASU Today!

The former President is coming to ASU this afternoon to rally for Harry Mitchell, Jim Pederson, and Terry Goddard! This was a great surprise to many, including me. Clinton was scheduled for an event with Pederson in Tucson tonight and he's going to stop by the Valley to attend a get-out-the-vote rally. This is very exciting. I heard about it last night at 7:30 from a robo-call by the state party. I'm on campus in Tempe now, blogging from the library. There is a great feeling of anticipation on campus, and I mean everybody is talking about it. This is an amazing development for the Mitchell campaign.

A new SUSA poll (they've done three in the last two months!) shows Mitchell over Hayworth 48% to 46%. It's still within the margin of error and Geo points out some weird discrepancies. Either way, we know that this race is tight and we can only out-work the state Republican Party and the Hayworth camp if we want Mitchell to pull this one out. It'll be a nail-biter to the end, but we have the volunteers, Mitchell has the money, and now, we have President Clinton to rally the voters!

If you can come, and there are few good reasons not to, the rally will be at 3:30 at Arizona State University in Tempe. It will be at Hayden Lawn which is right next to the Memorial Union and above the Library at the center of campus. The event is free, but I'm expecting a lot of people to show, so come early if you can, stop by the Young Democrats' table and hang out (I'll be there in the Harry Mitchell shirt). There is a lot of space around the lawn, but optimal viewing is going to go fast. Come out and support Harry Mitchell and our other Democratic candidates!
