I was looking forward to HRC coming to Madison, WI, but

[book_worm]

have found out that her appearance here won't be open to the public. Not sure why--I think it's a missed opportunity:

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will speak in Madison on Monday, two days after her Democratic opponent, Bernie Sanders, drew a large crowd here and touted his campaign's momentum.

Clinton will make remarks to invited guests at UW-Madison's Gordon Commons, 770 W. Dayton Street, at 3:45 p.m. Doors open at 2:45 p.m. A UW-Madison news release says the event is not open to the campus community or the public.

Because of Clinton's appearance, Lake Street will be closed to traffic between Dayton and Johnson streets, starting at about noon, and to pedestrians after 3 p.m., until the event is over.

1. What's that about? nt

2. hopefully she will come back before the primary

She will be in Madison, Green Bay, Milwaukee and La Crosse on Monday and Tuesday. But no other appearances have been announced--meanwhile Bernie is going to be barnstorming the state all week. I hope she will return later in the week.

12. Fundraiser maybe?

3. On the same night John Kasich is doing a town hall in Madison

that is open to the public.

My feeling is that at least around here HRC holding an "invitation only" appearance will not get good publicity and will contrast with the open to the public appearances that Bernie and Kasich are having. I know that Madison probably is Bernie country but I think we should be trying to get as many votes as possible.

11. Probably won't get good PR even if it was open.

Too much competition that day. Better to arrange another day.

4. Just curious, has Clinton had any "open to the public" events?

The most "open" appearance in WA was an appearance by Chelsea that had a relatively low fee.

I'm just wondering if she has had any public appearances elsewhere.

5. Of course she has...

Her appearance in Milwaukee is open to the public:

9. Her visit to the Machinists hall near Boeing in Everett was

10. Yeah, I was hoping she might do an event at the labor Temple

on Park Street which is near where I work. As I say maybe she will come back later in the week and do something. In 2008 she had an open to the public event at Monona Terrace.
