2008 Campaign Event Map - Barack Obama


The following map highlights the counties that Barack Obama held a campaign event during the general election campaign. A campaign event is an event which is open to the public and announced in advance. For example, Barack Obama making a surprise visit to a diner is not counted as a campaign event; a rally, town hall, speech or other official campaign event is counted.

Obama had 166 campaign events in 110 counties, and 22 states. Obama won 84 of the 110 counties which he visited (76%).

Note: In Virginia, unlike other states, is organized into both independent cities and counties. In order for campaign visits to be visible, I highlighted the surrounding county around the city which was visited.
