Obama to visit Madison Thursday

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is scheduled to stop at a rally in Madison next Thursday with less than two weeks before Election Day, his campaign announced Friday. 

 

Phil Walzak, communications director for Obama's campaign in Wisconsin, did not disclose a specific time or location. 

 

Wisconsin remains a very important swing state, it's a very close election with so much at stake,"" Walzak said. 

 

This will be Obama's first Madison visit since he spoke on campus in February, an event that filled the Kohl Center beyond capacity. 

 

According to Walzak, Obama's visit will focus on the contrast between his economic plan and that of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
