Obama Supporters Move Local Party To Accommodate Expected Crowd

Barack Obama's campaign in Cincinnati can see the writing on the wall, in the streets and at the polls as voting began on Tuesday.

With capacity crowds at campaign events leading up to Tuesday's Ohio primary, the local leadership made a late night decision Monday to move its party Tuesday  to a larger venue.

Sully's, a quaint downtown pub, might not have enough space for all the supporters who may want to watch the results of their hard work translate into votes.

So the campaign decided to move its gathering to watch the returns blocks away to Cadillac Ranch, a restaurant and bar with a large open space ready to accommodate a larger crowd. The party begins as the polls close at 7:30 Tuesday night. Mayor Mark Mallory, State Senator Eric Kearney and other elected officials, supporters and volunteers are scheduled to attend.

Obama has won the last 11 primaries, but even if he doesn't win the majority of votes Tuesday, he could still declare a victory.

That's because barring stunning numbers from Clinton's camp, Obama could gain enough delegates in Ohio to maintain his momentum.

Obama spent the day campaigning all over Texas, starting in Houston and ending in San Antonio, where he plans to watch the vote come in.

Ohio and Texas offer the most delegates up for grabs Tuesday, with voters in Rhode Island and Vermont also going to the polls.
