The Obama campaign has more offices in Kentucky than any other presidential candidate.

And now, another is added to the list.

The regional office for Obama's presidential campaign opened April 15 in Bowling Green.

The office will help organize Obama's local campaign by making phone calls and knocking on doors.

The campaign's growing presence in the state is hoping to gain more supporters and votes.

And leaders with "Obama for America" say the celebration was a successful one.

"Yeah, we had a couple hundred people and it just showed the level of excitement for Barack Obama in Bowling Green and Warren County," said Shailen Bhatt, of Obama for America.

Obama for America offices are already up and running in Lexington and Louisville.

Additional offices in Owensboro, Pikeville and Covington are slated to open later this week.

Please go to you his website and read...do your research. Do NOT fall prey to the uneducated opinions of people who fail to get educated, or listen to rumors from people that can not get beyond their own prejudice, or are not brave enough to form their own opinions. Everything you need to know is at www.barakobama.com. Or I guess you take the other road, vote for McCain, vote for the same of the last 7 years, vote for the rich getting richer and out jobs going to other countires, and vote for millions of people not able to obtain health care. OR YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN AMERICA....AND VOTE FOR CHANGE BY SOMEONE THAT CAN FIX OUR ECONOMY, GET US HEALTH CARE, AND CHANGE OUR COUNTRY TO A PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE RUN THE COUNTRY, NOT THE LOBBYIST...AND VOTE TRULY FOR AN AMERICA MADE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE...VOTE FOR HOPE AND YOUR AMERICAN DREAM TO COME TRUE!!!

I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF TO VOTE FOR A HUMANBEING THAT WILL NOT STAND UP AND PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART AND SING TO OUR AMERICAN FLAG, I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM DO THIS AND AT THIS POINT IF HE CAN NOT DO THIS FOR AMERICA WHAT ELSE WILL HE NOT DO FOR THE AMERICAN WORKER? WHEN YOU ARE A AMERICAN YOU ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT OUR FLAG, IF HE WINS THIS ELECTION THEN HE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAND BESIDE THE AMERICAN FLAG, OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND BY HIM, LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT THE FLAG STANDS FOR AND LET'S NOT FORGET TO LET THE POLITICS KNOW WHERE WE STAND. WE ARE THE U.S.A ( RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ) GOD BLESS
