Barack Obama Rallies in New Mexico Friday, Feb. 1

I dropped by the Sandoval County Democratic Club's Presidential Straw Poll event in Rio Rancho last night (which Obama won, by the way).

I learned at the Obama table that Barack Obama would be making at least a couple of appearances at rallies here in New Mexico this Friday, Feb. 1. The Obama campaign called me today and confirmed it.

This evening I checked the Obama website (http://newmexico.barackobama.com), and the info was all posted around 7 p.m.

There is info about the Friday Albuquerque rally on the New Mexico Community Blog:
