President Obama arrived in Orlando at 7:48 p.m. in advance of tomorrow's rally with Bill Clinton, which was moved up to an earlier time due to Hurricane Sandy.
The Obama campaign said he met "key leaders in Florida's Puerto Rican Community on the tarmac at the Orlando International Airport."
They were: Sylvia Carceres; Delores Guzman; Lucy Soto-Clowney; Selma Abdul; Mayra Uribe; Wanda Ramos-Rodriguez; Victor Torres, State Representative District 48.
Obama then visited a campaign office, bringing pizza to workers. He noted the first day of early voting Saturday and said, "You guys blew it out!"
"All the polls say it is going to be a close race," Obama said, according to a press pool report. "And so whoever is able to get their voters out, theyre the ones who win Florida. We win Florida, we win this election. I hate to put the burden of the entire world; on you but basically its all up to you. Thats why I brought you pizza!
