BATTLE CREEK, Mich.--Barack Obama is expected to arrive at here at Bailey Park, home of the Bombers, here shortly.
And he probably can't get here soon enough for many of the attendees for this evening's rally, who have been baking in the hot sun in the outfield, some since 2 this afternoon.
Appeals to a higher power have gone out. A gospel choir is currently performing.
It's really warm.
