Obama May Visit Aberdeen

The American News reports:

Aberdeen is on a list of cities presidential candidate Barack Obama could visit during a Friday trip to South Dakota, Mayor Mike Levsen said Monday.

Meanwhile, the manager of the Sioux Falls airport said the Obama campaign has told airport officials in the state's largest community to expect a 5 p.m. Friday landing. (snip)

Mike Marnach, Sioux Falls Regional Airport manager, said Obama's campaign called last week and told officials to expect an evening visit.

Marnach said he didn't know of other potential stops in the state, but that a morning visit to Aberdeen and an evening visit to Sioux Falls would work well enough from a scheduling standpoint. And, he pointed out, former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., is an Aberdeen native and works closely with the Obama campaign, so an Aberdeen visit would make sense.
