[size="+2"]Obama schedules Harbor Park rally Tuesday evening[/size] [size="-1"]03:33 PM EDT on Sunday, October 26, 2008[/size] [size="-1"]13News[/size] NORFOLK -- Sen. Barack Obama has scheduled another rally in Hampton Roads. The campaign announced Sunday that Obama would hold a “Change We Need” rally Tuesday night at Harbor Park in Norfolk.
This will be Obama’s ninth trip to Virginia since the end of the primary campaign and his fourth visit to Hampton Roads, where he has campaigned in Chesapeake, Newport News, and Norfolk.
Obama’s running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, was in Suffolk on Saturday.
The candidates have been making tracks to Virginia in recent weeks with the commonwealth up for grabs on Election Day. Obama is attempting to break a long drought in Virginia, becoming the first Democrat for president to win the state in 44 years. Obama was in Richmond and northern Virginia last week.
Norfolk will be Obama’s second campaign stop of the day in Virginia. He will hold a rally at James Madison University in Harrisonburg earlier in the day.
Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin will hold a rally in Salem, Va. on Monday. The presidential candidates are also campaigning heavily in North Carolina, where both Obama and McCain will hold rallies next week.
Tuesday’s event at Harbor Park is free and open to the public, and tickets are not required. However, the campaign says that an RSVP is strongly encouraged.
According to his campaign, Obama’s speech in Norfolk will deal with the economy, health care, and taxes.
Harbor Park is located at 150 Park Avenue in downtown Norfolk. Gates will open at 7:00 p.m. and the program begins at 9:30.
To RSVP, go to www.VA.barackobama.com or call 757.228.4439. Admission will be on a first come, first serve basis.
Limited on-site parking is available at Harbor park, but attendees may also use the MacArthur Center Garage and other downtown lots.
For more information about transport and parking in Norfolk, visit www.norfolk.gov.
For security reasons, do not bring bags and limit personal items, and no signs or banners will be allowed, according to the campaign.
