If CNN won’t go to them, they’ll go to CNN

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Not that they expect Oregon-sized numbers, but Barack Obama supporters plan on providing a significant backdrop for a certain, locally based cable TV network on the evening of June 3, by filling the CNN Center lobby to celebrate the final Democratic primaries in Montana and South Dakota.

Thirty-one delegates are at stake that night — 15 in South Dakota, and 15 in Montana. Puerto Rico, where 55 delegates are at stake, will have voted two days before.

The communication to the “Obama family” notes that “even former Hillary supporters are invited to mark the end of a historic primary.”

There is no indication — let’s repeat that — there is no indication at all that the candidate himself will be here. However, given the venue, attendees are asked to wear Obama clothing and hats. There was no limit placed on style or taste.
