* 12:12 pm - Word’s going around that Barack Obama is planning a pre-convention visit to Springfield, and it looks like it’ll be this Saturday at the Old State Capitol at one o’clock.

There’s no confirmation yet from the Obama campaign, and things like this have a way of changing at the last minute, so keep all that in mind.

Still, at least one of Obama’s top guys is in Springfield and a big planning meeting with the locals just concluded.


Don't forget this location, the Old State Capitol Building is where it all began!

My family lives down there - so we have a place to sleep on short notice.

I wonder how early we're going to have to get there?

Jesus creeping god, my wife and I about froze waiting for Obama to speak when he made his announcement.
