In preparation for Alabama’s part on Super Tuesday (Feb 5), more presidential campaigns rallied for support here in Birmingham.
President Bill Clinton stumps for his wife Senator Hillary Clinton in her bid to become the Democratic candidate for President. President Clinton stopped first in Huntsville, Alabama and then made his way to the campus of Miles College here in Birmingham.
The Republican front-runner, Senator John McCain stopped at the Birmingham Convention Center and rallied for support before moving on to Atlanta.
Though covering two campaigns of both parties in one day was exhausting, it was very rewarding to see the political process. Both camps had their share of eager supporters who wanted to hear something they could benefit from. They were not disappointed. There is a small amount of pride in covering both rallies at almost the same time. Parking was horrendous at both Miles College and the BJCC. More so at the convention center thanks to the annual Boat Show going on next door. I cannot believe I had the good fortune to see both! Eat your heart out big media! You need multiple reporters and photojournalists but small media got em both. Catch more coverage and my small contributions over at the Birmingham Terminal.
