Former president Bill Clinton will get to
speak to a larger crowd Sunday evening when he returns to his home
state to rally support for John Kerry.
Kerry-Edwards campaign officials in Arkansas said today they
have moved the site of the rally to the Statehouse Convention
Center in downtown Little Rock. They said requests for tickets
exceeded the capacity of the venue announced yesterday, the
Aerospace Education Center near the Little Rock Airport.
But that site can hold no more than a thousand people. Rodney
Shelton, Kerry`s campaign director in Arkansas, said requests for
tickets today had already exceeded that number. He said the
Statehouse Convention Center will hold more than two-thousand
people.
He said the response to news of the rally had been phenomenal,
and organizers want to accommodate all that want to come out.
