The campaign of Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) announced last week that they’d be holding a big campaign event with President Obama on July 16 — and it now turns out that they’re moving to a bigger venue, after too many people tried to sign up.
Here’s a new Web video from campaign manager Maggie Moran, announcing the switch:
The previous venue had been Voorhees Mall on the Rutgers University campus. The new location, the PNC Bank Arts Center, has a seating capacity of 17,500. This is still just a fraction of the more than 50,000 people who tried to sign up on the Web site. People who had signed up and couldn’t get on the list will be on a preferred reservation list for future events. In fact, Moran said, there will be many more opportunities to see Barack or Michelle Obama.
