Michelle Obama and Jill Biden campaign in Philly
Published October 2, 2008
Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wives of the Democratic presidential and vice-presidential nominees, hosted an outdoor rally at the Francis Meyers Recreation Center in the Kingsessing area of southwest Philadelphia on Sept. 24. They were joined by a host of Democratic Party luminaries from the Philadelphia area, including Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. The rally was planned for earlier in the week, but plans were altered due to the recent death of a police officer, Patrick McDonald, who received a dedication during the rally. The event emphasized the historical nature of the Democratic campaign, as well as the importance of voter registration.
