Presidential campaigns target Rockland

January

As the nation debated the electability of a black man or a white woman to the White House, the race for the Democratic presidential nomination took center stage in Rockland over the weekend.

The campaigns of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton courted local supporters in the county.

A rally for Clinton was set for 3 p.m. yesterday at the Quisqueya Sports Club in Haverstraw village, organizers said. The event was to feature appearances by Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., and Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr.

On Saturday night, Obama supporters gathered at the Nyack Center as he captured a significant win the South Carolina Democratic primary.

State Sen. Bill Perkins, D-West Harlem, and Rockland County Legislator Bill Darden, were among the scheduled speakers.
