The CNN Election Express is heading across the country.
ABOARD THE ELECTION EXPRESS, South Carolina (CNN) – The country is at war, the economy is stalling, and the presidential candidates are fighting over everything from universal health care to illegal immigration. The Democratic and Republican White House hopefuls are offering their plans, but is America listening? Over the next six days we will search for that answer, and provide Americans an opportunity to say what’s on their minds as the CNN Election Express motors from Myrtle Beach to Los Angeles. For the past year, if you lived in Iowa or New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada, chances are you bumped into Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, John McCain or Barack Obama. These states have made their voices heard — except for South Carolina’s Democrats, who vote on Saturday — but were the voters in Alabama or New Mexico listening? The candidates had better hope so. Voters in these states and 22 others head to the polls on February 5, when 1,681 Democratic and 1020 Republican delegates are up for grabs. This is no planned tour. We are going to make unscheduled stops in little towns and big cities, truck stops and diners. When we pull over, CNN’s Ali Velshi will be jumping off the bus to hear what’s on voters’ minds, while I blog along the way. We begin our journey in South Carolina, and end in California: 2,600 miles and the lives and stories of millions of Americans lie in-between. So, tune into CNN and The Ticker throughout the day and night for the latest from the road. – CNN Political Editor Mark Preston Filed under: CNN Election Express Real People Real Issues |
