Obama to speak at Northeastern University

President Barack Obama has chosen Northeastern University as the venue for his visit to Massachusetts on Sunday to boost the US Senate candidacy of Martha Coakley, the Coakley campaign said this morning.

The Obama rally is tentatively slated for 1 p.m., campaign officials said as she began a daylong, eight-stop tour of eastern Massachusetts at a union hall in Dorchester..

Coakley, the Democratic state attorney general, and Republican State Senator Scott Brown are in a last-minute scramble for votes today in a race that has caught fire in recent days, drawing national media attention as a possible game-changing moment in the health care debate in Washington -- and in Obama's presidency.

Coakley was joined at the morning rally at the IBEW hall in Dorchester by Victoria Reggie Kennedy, the widow of the late Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal legend who held the seat for 47 years. The cheering crowd of 200 included union members in workboots, sweatshirts, and Carhart jackets.

Robert Haines, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO delivered a stemwinder, telling the union members, "We have a fight on our hands. There's nothing less than the future of the labor movement at stake in this election."

1. She should win easily. I'm just not trusting these weird polls...
I don't think the people of Mass would allow that teabagger to have Ted's seat. Something smells. Dems will be out in force on Tuesday!
