Senator Barack Obama was in Georgia for a fundraiser and a town hall meeting to highlight his plans to spur the US economy.
A crowd of 2700 supporters greeted the Senator at a suburban Atlanta highschool before he launched into a speech about a failing US economy that is squeezing middle class America.
He laid out his plan to rebuild what he calls the American dream: working hard for a living wage with healthcare and retirement.
"That’s what we’re fighting for that’s the choice in this election and Georgia," he said. "If you stand up with me and vote for me I promise you we will not just win here in Georgia, we’ll win this gernal election."
While in Georgia, Obama also held a $2300 a plate fundraiser. The state has been staunchly Republican for the past three presidential elections. Analysts say it’s too early to tell whether Obama has a chance to carry Georgia.
