CLEVELAND: Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy campaigned for Barack Obama Saturday. He told more than 300 people in Cleveland that Obama will work to create jobs and bring affordable health care to northeast Ohio. Kennedy swung through the economically pressed region a day after Obama's opponent in the Democratic presidential primary, Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, campaigned outside Cleveland and appeared at a party fundraiser near Akron. Kennedy stopped in Akron and at Youngstown State University, where Obama is to appear on Monday. He then spoke in Cleveland at the Fairhill Center, a nonprofit agency for seniors. Members of the politically active Service Employees International Union, which endorsed Obama yesterday, sat behind Kennedy as he spoke. |
