Candidates in our region

As predicted, the W.Va. primary is in play for the first time in years.

Both Clinton and Obama are going to be around here for the next few days.

Clinton: First a town hall meeting at Capital High School in Charleston at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. The event is free and open to the public. Then she'll be in Huntington, where she'll talk with veterans at the American Legion Post 16 at 4:15 p.m.

Obama: First, he'll be in Charleston for a speech at 9:30 a.m. at the University of Charleston in the Geary Auditorium on Thursday. This event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. Then he's headed to Beckley for a town hall meeting at 4:30p.m. at the Raleigh County Convention Center. This one's also free and open to the public, tickets required. (ticket info is on his site)

Update: Looks like Obama in Charleston tickets are gone, according to his WV campaign site:

There is confusion about the Charleston event. It is a much smaller event than the one in Beckley and right now tickets are all out. We are working on finding out if more will be allocated. However, the Beckley Event is a much larger venue. Keep checking in.
