PORTSMOUTH, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama plans to make his first campaign visit to southern Ohio this Thursday.
Obama will hold a rally on jobs in Portsmouth. It will take place at Alumni Green at Shawnee State University beginning at 7:30 Thursday night.
The gates will open at 5:30pm.
Tickets are not required for this event. It is free and open to anybody to attend. You can RSVP at ohio.barackobama.com.
Obama has visited the Charleston, West Virginia area twice, but has yet to make his way into Southern Ohio, where he lost to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primary.

Sarah Palin needs to lay off of our Alaskian wildlife-MCSame is an arrogant idiot-Obama is going to be the next Pres-I will vote for him! If you research the issues-there's no other choice.
A friend and I sat in line since 1 o'clock yesterday to see Obama. Going there, I was a lil unsure on who I was going to vote for. We sat in line for hours, finally got inside and made it to the front. As I stood there listening to Mr. Obama, I shook my head over and over, saying "YES" "YES" "YES" finding myself LOVING everything he had said that night. In the end I stuck around to get a hand shake, and was BLOWN AWAY at how down to earth and nice he really was, and in the end I am very glad I stood for over 8hrs to see, listen, and shake Obama's hand. I have finally made my decision on who I will vote for, I am 25 years old and have NEVER voted before. But this year shall be different, and I am very confident on my choice. Thanks Obama for visiting our area. We really do need a change
Thank U so much for this telecast tonight. I am disabled and was not able to attend. Only thing, LOL was watching a woman put on her makeup and comb her hair and answering questions to someone? Your sound was low. Thank you again. :)
