Catch our coverage of Obama and Edwards in Michigan

By Staff Report | 05.15.08 | 2:42 pm

Too busy yesterday to follow Barack Obama’s first campaign visit to Michigan, or John Edwards’ endorsement?  You can still catch it here at Michigan Messenger.

Minehaha Forman gathered voters’ reactions to Obama’s visit at Macomb Community College.

Todd Heywood attended the campaign event in Grand Rapids, and was the first to confirm John Edwards’ endorsement; you can read about the evening in the liveblog post.

Heywood also checked the crowd before and after the event in his photoblog — bet you the mainstream media didn’t tell you that Obama and Edwards left afterwards in the same vehicle.  (A little quiet chat about the Veep job, maybe? Hmmm…who knows?)

And Ed Brayton takes a walkabout to see what others are saying about Obama.

Check back for more campaign coverage here at Michigan Messenger.
