Volunteers with Barack Obama's campaign say that tickets for Senator Joe Biden's Sunday visit to Kalispell have been flying out off the door at the Campaign for Change office.

"It's just been enormous, there are so many supporters I didn't know we had out there, here in the Flathead area there's a lot more, it's very surprising to me, and I'm really glad to hear about it" commented Kalispell volunteer Molly Moore.

Sunday's A Discussion with Senator Joe Biden event will kick off at Flathead High School on Sunday afternoon. The doors open at 12:30 and the program begins at 2:30 p.m.

While the Biden appearance is free to the public, people must pick up tickets at the Obama campaign offices, which are open until 9:00 p.m. on Saturday.

"I've been so excited this whole year with the political process...had a chance to see Barack Obama in Missoula, and I got to shake former President Clinton's hand when he appeared at FVCC" said Lakeside resident Randolph Jakes.

Kalispell will be the only stop for Senator Biden in Montana.

3. How cool is that?

I'll bet Joe never thought he'd become such a star attraction!

4. I'm not sure some of the other potential VPs could garner the crowds Joe does.

I may be biased, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to hear Bayh speak, for example.

5. Good point

Obama couldn't have picked a better VP. This is turning out better than I'd expected.

6. I used to live in Kalispell

It's where I met my wife.

7. I was thinking back, last night, to the primary...

and there was a map of where the candidates were getting their money. I distinctly remember both Colorado, and Montana being big donor states to Obama. Don't remember all of the others, but those two stuck out in my mind. If anyone has them saved, go back and take a look at them. I think they would be very telling at this point.
