A slew of big-name Democratic surrogates are preparing to hit the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton beginning this week, launching the campaign's final sprint before Election Day.

First lady Michelle Obama and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will return to the campaign trail for Clinton for the first time since the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July. And a host of others, including such celebrities as actors Tony Goldwyn and Don Cheadle and Broadway star Audra McDonald, will participate in events for Clinton.

The show of surrogate muscle comes after a months of relatively low-key campaigning from Clinton and her supporters. Much of Clinton's time in the past several weeks was spent raising millions at high-dollar fundraisers.

On Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont campaigned for Clinton for the first time since the convention, appearing in New Hampshire. And Vice President Biden returned to the campaign trail for several events on Clinton's behalf last week.

Just in time to take advantage of Early Voters. Do a rally, walk them down to the EV polling location and get them heard.

4. "And President Obama's first event is scheduled for September 13."

Right here in Philly.

And Bill Clinton was already here over the past weekend at Philly's "Made in American" concert - and they had booths at the event.

9. Oh nooooooooooo

Tickets were big bucks to go into that event and there were really no bands that I was that interested in seeing. I was trying to avoid that whole area as it is because it was a traffic nightmare all last week as they were setting up the stages!

8. Love me some Michelle!

Wish I lived in a state that mattered in terms of electoral votes so I could go see her. Grace, beauty, brains, class, and of course I absolutely LOVE it when she gives the president grief in public and he takes it like a good husband should.

Her speech at the convention was amazing.


Peace
