Jackson getting ready for Obama

Mon, March 10, 2008 - 4:23 PM

Ok, here we go. We’re coming to you live from the Barack Obama event in Jackson.

Obama isn’t scheduled to hit the stage here at Jackson State University until 7 p.m.

But this is the big game in Jackson tonight. People are being urged to avoid driving near the university unless they’re coming to the rally.

As you head into the university, vendors are selling Obama T-shirts and posters.



And hundreds of people have lined up way in advance to get into the Lee E. Williams Athletics & Assembly Center.



This crowd is ready.
