Hillary Clinton in Gastonia, NC on Saturday (MORE: SCANDAL ROCKS CLINTON CAMPAIGN)

Via the Shelby Star:

Hillary Clinton will bring her presidential campaign to Gastonia on Saturday, holding a “get out the vote” rally at the Rotary Centennial Pavilion downtown.

Clinton’s visit comes three days before North Carolina’s primary election Tuesday. She and her chief rival, Barack Obama, have crisscrossed the state as they battle for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination.

Obama leads in the popular vote and number of delegates, although Clinton has put together a string of victories across several states to keep her campaign alive.

Saturday’s scheduled event by Clinton marks the first visit to Gaston County by either candidate. Clinton’s husband, former President Clinton, campaigned for his wife at Highland School of Technology five weeks ago, drawing 600 supporters to the school in Gastonia.

Want to attend? Details:

Hillary Clinton will attend a “get out the vote rally” Saturday at the Rotary Centennial Pavilion, located near the intersection of South Street and Main Avenue downtown.

The event begins at 1:30 p.m., but those wanting to attend can start arriving at 11:30 a.m., according to the campaign.

I’m so there. :D I’ve got plans Saturday evening, so a recap and pix will have to wait ’til Sunday.

Wow – Barack Obama today and Hillary Clinton tomorrow. Right now, North Carolina is feelin’ the political love ;)

Related: I’m buried under this afternoon and don’t have time to write about this in depth, but there is a scandal brewing within the Clinton campaign over a tape that has surfaced that allegedly shows informal Clinton campaign advisor Mickey Kantor making a slur against Indianans back in 1992. Hot Air is all over it and says it looks the video may have been doctored and that this is a dirty trick, but being played by ….?

    I can’t rule a the fact of a real conspiracy, but Mrs. Clinton’s constant whining about conspiracies is getttng tiresome.

    The tape has been debunked. Watch it get blamed on the Republicans, though… even if it is traced back to the O-man, it will be labeled a “Rovian dirty trick” and “right out of the Republican playbook.”

    clintons and conspiracies go together don’t they? love the blog. its my first visit. blessings to you.

    Right now, the Mickey Kantor tape seems to be a fake, but if I was to guess who did it, I’d say, thanks to the very quick debunking, it could well be a Clinton campaign psy-op move!

    But one thing that was definitely done by the Clinton campaign is the use of a campaign advertisement in which Barack Hussein Obama is made to look just a little bit darker in complexion. I’ve got the article on Brian’s site (while pinch-hitting for him) and my own poor effort.

    The color change is very subtle, enough so that it could be dismissed as really nothing, just a digital photo transmission error by those inclined to give the lovely Mrs Clinton the benefit of the doubt. I am not so inclined.
