Obama's Twin Cities Appearance Sold Out (Arena with over 19,000 seats)
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign rally at the Target Center on Saturday is "sold out," the campaign announced today.

The free tickets to the Minneapolis event were gobbled up less than 24 hours after they became available, Obama campaign spokesman Nick Kimball said in an e-mail.

Tickets are no longer available online, and a very limited number of paper tickets are still available at Obama campaign offices around the state, Kimball wrote. The campaign has created a waiting list for people who wish to attend but cannot guarantee that anyone on the list will get a ticket. The list can be accessed at minnesota.barackobama.com/minneapolis.

3. Also, they just reported that Bill Clinton had a rally in the same exact building (arena?) as Obama
on the same day, but Obama had overflow crowds and Bill didn't fill the place. :D

13. I think that is a strong possibility
It'd be a 2 1/2 hour drive for me, but I'd consider it if the timing is right!

17. Kohl Center is in Madison, so however far Madison is from Chicago
I'm purely speculating here, but Obama has a good shot to take Wisconsin on Feb 19th. He came in October and got 4,000 to show up, so I wouldnt be surprised if he went for the arena.
