On Friday, Jan. 11, presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Las Vegas, making stops at the Culinary Workers Union and Del Sol High School for a town hall meeting. Obama was endorsed by the union two days earlier.

Discussion: 1 comment so far…

  1. I left after waiting in a very long line in the cold for almost an hour, It became obvious that I would get nowhere near the meeting hall and would probably miss most of what Obama said. Very disappointing that so many tickets were allowed to be given out given the size of the venue.
