Senate Candidates Call In Big Names For Support
WEST VIRGINIA....
As election day nears and the end of the campaign trail enters its last steps for the coveted Senate seat left by longtime Senator Robert C. Byrd, two top candidates are calling in some big names to help with their efforts.
Former President Bill Clinton will be back in the state of West Virginia Monday, November 1st, to continue to campaign with Governor Joe Manchin in his bid for the U.S. Senate election. The two will be at a rally in Beckley to be hosted at the Tamarack Conference Center. The event is open to the public and no tickets are required. Doors will open at 1:30 P.M., and the event will start at 2:45 P.M. There will be no formal seating, and no signs will be allowed.
Saturday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin joined rock legend Ted Nugent at a rally at the Haddad Riverfront Park in Charleston to campaign for U.S. Senate candidate John Raese. Palin told a crowd of cheering supporters that Alaska and West Virginia had a lot in common, saying "We are all clinging to our guns, our God and our constitution." Palin said she likes Governor Joe Manchin, but he fits better in the West Virginia mansion.
