Obama to make campaign stop in Bloomington on Friday

Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama will stop in Bloomington on Friday, according to a source in the campaign.\nThe Illinois Senator is crisscrossing Indiana as part of a three-day bus tour of the Hoosier state starting Wednesday.\nThe focus of Obama's tour throughout the state is improving the economy and stimulating job growth, said campaign spokesman Nick Kimball.\nOnly one stop on his tour has been confirmed - a speech Wednesday night at a South Bend high school. Obama, however, does plan to visit Bloomington on Friday, the source, who spoke off the record because the details of the trip have not yet been released, said. The campaign has yet to finalize any of the details of his stop in town, the source added.\nIndiana has found itself in the spotlight as a key battleground in the contentious Democratic presidential primary. The Hoosier state's May 6 primary, with its 84 delegates at stake, looms as one of the biggest remaining contests after Pennsylvania's April 22 vote.\nA recent poll commissioned by the South Bend Tribune and three Indiana television news stations puts New York Sen. Hillary Clinton ahead of Obama in Indiana 49 percent to 46 percent, though the results fall within the margin of error.\nCheck out Wednesday's edition of the Indiana Daily Student for more details.
