Obama-Clinton rally in Central Florida draws 50,000
By Beth Reinhard and Jennifer Lebovich | Miami Herald


ORLANDO -- With some Florida polls showing the presidential race tightening in the final fortnight, Democratic nominee Barack Obama tried to lock down the nation's largest battleground state with a flurry of early-voting pep rallies and a coast-to-coast tour that wraps up Tuesday night in the heart of downtown Miami.

Knowing Florida's soft spot for Hillary Clinton, Obama dispatched her to the Democratic stronghold of Broward County on Monday and joined her later that day in a rare joint appearance here in Central Florida.

Citing estimates by law enforcement officials, the Obama campaign pegged the crowd in Orlando at 50,000 — the largest at a modern-day Democratic campaign event in Florida.

3. That's fantastic. Democratic supporters in FL couldn't see her during the primaries.

So I'm very glad they're getting the chance now!

And thanks Hillary! Is this a record for largest crowd in history for a campaign surrogate? It must be!

4. They appeared together yesterday, but it's the largest crowd

ever to appear for a Dem in FL. And Hillary was great.

5. Even better! I just noticed this was the Orlando rally.

I saw a different Florida Hillary rally earlier in the day. She's really working hard down there!
