And Obama's not hiding from voters and their questions..his strategy is to do town halls all over PA instead of the rallies..

I still think he'll come out with a major speech addressing Wright issues..

Obama's scheduled 11:30 a.m. visit [today] to Community College of Beaver County, [Pennsylvania] is billed as a "town meeting" rather than a speech. That means he is coming primarily to listen, said a campaign spokesman, Sean Smith. He'll likely devote more time to calling upon people with raised hands to ask him questions than to delivering any new message about America, the Bush administration or Mrs. Clinton.

"Senator Obama wanted to do a smaller, more intimate style of town hall event rather than a big speech," Mr. Smith said. "He wants a chance to hear directly from the voters in Western Pennsylvania."

... The public had an opportunity to claim free tickets to the event over the weekend, and Mr. Smith said all of those were taken by yesterday. Those who held tickets to the Penn State Beaver event [originally scheduled for last week] may use those for admission.

... "We all realize this is an historic time for our country," said college President Joe Forrester ... "This is about an exchange of ideas that should engage not only our students but our entire community."

... It's likely this is only the first of multiple visits Mr. Obama will make to the Pittsburgh region over the next five weeks.
