Tailgating for Obama - Pittsburg Steelers campaigning TODAY in 5 counties

The Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off their "Steelers Vote for Change" Blitz with rallies in Aliquippa, Carnegie, Charleroi, Greensburg and Uniontown later TODAY.

The events will include current and former members (including Franco Harris, Dwight "Mad Dog" White, J.T. Thomas, Robin Cole, Larry Brown and Edmund Nelson) and will conclude with a massive tailgate party outside Heinz Field (gates open at 6pm).

Sen. Bob Casey, Steelers owner Dan Rooney, and other high profile Obama supporters are expected to atttend.

This is a great idea, but I'm afraid it's going to miss the news radar.  There doesn't seem to be much information out yet.  We need to help spread the word about these events today.  All events are free and open to the public.

To me, this is just a really cool idea and it appeals to a great demographic for Obama.  Having the Steelers tackle the primary is real win for Obama.

I would love to hear from anyone who can attend the county tours or the main event later tonight.

Here are some details:

Aliquippa Rally

Carnegie Rally

Charleroi Rally

Greensburg Rally

Uniontown Rally
