Obama's Splashdown in New Jersey

(PRNewser at Barack Obama ralley in Jersey City, N.J.)

Barack Obama drew thousands today in Jersey City, N.J. in his first appearance since narrowly losing the New Hampshire primary to Hillary Clinton. The city is a Democrat stronghold located only minutes from Manhattan.

I felt compelled to attend since this is the first time New Jersey will play an important role in choosing the candidates with its primary moved up to Super Tuesday. It was a great PR move to give the state, and the media a taste of what’s its like to be an Iowan and the attendance and excitement reflected it.
