Huntington/Charleston, WV (WSAZ)--West Virginia is stepping into the political spotlight.
Both democratic presidential candidates have their eye on the mountain state. Wednesday, Hillary Clinton made stops in Charleston and Huntington.
In Huntington at the American Legion, Senator Clinton spoke about the Iraq war with local veterans.
Senator Clinton gave some Kanawha County High School students the chance Wednesday afternoon to see decision 2008 face to face.
She conducted a town hall meeting at capital high school.
Senator Clinton gave a quick speech and spent most of the time taking questions from the audience.
Students say this was an experience they'll never forget.
"I was very surprised at first when I heard about it. I wanted to take a picture with her, and as soon as I found out she was going to sign our stuff, I said, that's nice,” Jamie Hicks, a Capital High student said.
Barack Obama will also visit the mountain state Thursday.
The Illinois senator will begin his day at the University of Charleston’s Riggleman Hall in the Geary auditorium.
He’s expected to deliver a speech about the Iraq war, and its impact on the country's economy.
The program begins at 11 a.m. and is free and open to the public. However, seating is limited and tickets are required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For tickets, call 304-266-0376.
Obama will then head to Beckley for a town hall meeting, which takes place at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center Arena and begins at 4 p.m.
Tickets for both events are free and open to the public.
