America's 44th President coming to Grand Rapids Wednesday!

Or at least I hope he'll be our 44th President! From The Grand Rapids Press:

Kent County Democrats are "thrilled" at the prospect of a Wednesday campaign rally at Van Andel Arena for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

The 7 p.m. rally was announced earlier today, prompting a flood of inquiries from local activists clamoring to see the Democratic front-runner.

"I am thrilled to death," said Democratic Chairwoman Sue Levy, who got a call from an Obama campaign official announcing the rally.

Clearly he is in general-election mode.

He's also going to be in Macomb County that day.
