UPDATED: Obama campaign to open new office in Radford
Updated at 4:30 p.m., Saturday. The Obama campaign initially sent the wrong address. It’s 513 East Main Street, not West Main Street.
The Obama For America campaign will open its third office in southwestern Virginia (if you include Roanoke in that region) on Saturday.
The new office will be at 513 West East Main Street in Radford.
It joins regional campaign offices in Roanoke and Blacksburg, as well as those in Lynchburg, Danville and Martinsville.
Campaign spokesman Dan Crawford wrote in an email, “The office will further expand the campaign’s grassroots operation in every corner of the commonwealth and serve as a community hub for local campaign activities, including phone banking, canvassing and voter registration.”
Certainly it appears the campaign continues to make a play for western Virginia.
And if you’re wondering just how far the new Obama campaign office is from Crumb & Get It Cookie Company, which famously declined an “unscheduled” campaign event with Vice President Joe Biden, it’s 1.3 0.9 miles, according to Google maps.

Guess he’s not taking VA for granted, now is he?
I actually drove up to Radford after that little flap, I was sure expecting “more”. It reminded me of Vinton.
You drove up there for no reason except to see a small business owner? Wow… was that a green thing to do? I am sure you drive a Chevy volt though, right?
when you ‘expected more’ and it reminded you of Vinton – how should Vintonites take that? Are you better than them, do you live in a nicer place? Does that mean that you discount people who aren’t like you – say Vinton for instance? Now, that isn’t the way lefties think is it?
Wonder if Crumb abd Get It will go for the obvious PR move and comp them some cookies for official opening activities. He was smart enough to parlay the biden visit into a ton of free advertising. Now he could get a lot more!
It is none of your business why I drove up there or what I drove to get there. The main drag in Radford is tiny like Vinton. Vintonites may take that any way they like. You may as well. Knock yourself out.
((giggle giggle giggle)) So, the lefties can tell everyone else what size soda they can buy, how many miles a vehicle can get to a gallon, how much salt they can use, what restaurants can offer and insist on how much they care for our environment but for goodness sakes, don’t inquire about their own personal green habits – why, that’s none of your bizwhacks. Teeheeeeeheeeeheeeee.
Wow, you are certainly easily amused. When have I told you or anyone else anything you could or could not do? Broad brush much? Rest easy, I do not drive a “gas guzzler”.
Frankly darling, I don’t give a damned. If you can afford to put the gas in it – drive it, honey! Wonder if those poor folks that are not expecting as much out of life in Vinton can afford to fill their gas tanks?
Sorry Radford didn’t live up to your expectations, Sandi. It’ll be tough for us to go on with our lives now, but somehow we’ll manage.
#6 “Teeheeeeeheeeeheeeee.”
Jeez, did you just get out of a middle school slumber party?
Actually “joe public”, I thought Radford was charming and, as I said, a lot like Vinton. I happen to love Vinton and that small town feel of any place. The proximity to the college was another surprise. Having heard so much about all the parades of people and right wing turnout, I was merely expecting a bigger main drag. Why is it you find that insulting?
Kathie, for a lady who does not “give a damned”, you were the one asking?
@Sandi – your own post “2.I actually drove up to Radford after that little flap, I was sure expecting “more”. It reminded me of Vinton” was very clear that your expectations were not met and when they weren’t met what came to mind was Vinton.
I have “explained” in plain English all I am going to. Your interrogation seems to be meant to make some point that eludes me. Care to quit playing games and spell that out?
That’s wonderful, Sandi. Since Radford reminds you so much of Vinton, perhaps you should limit your “treks” to that corner of the Roanoke Valley. We here in the NRV will continue the healing process in your absence.
Oh, and the next time you hear about those parades of people and the large right-wing turnouts in Radford, please let me know where and when they are so that I may attend! Perhaps that will give you more fodder for internet musings, which seem to give you so much entertainment and self-satisfaction.
Kathie, YOU’RE the one who said she drove up there for no other reason than to see the bakery. Not her. Just because it was “after” the baker’s little moment, doesn’t mean it was “because of”.
Post ergo propter is a logical fallacy.
The desperation of Kathie and “joe public” is palpable. And sad.
#16 Mighty strange how Kathie decided for Sandi why she drove up there. Reminds me of another recent poster who decided he knew why some Blacksburg restaurateurs closed up.
Kathie and joe public, you both rock! Keep up the good work.
Seriously b.o.h.i.c.a., are you twelve? There is no “good work” here!
I only came upon this blog a week ago and it seems to be dominated by three or four people b.o.h.i.c.a.
One actually sees themself as a bonafide journalist. Entertaining.
Sandy Saunders, I AM VERY serious! I’ll play your game, are you ten?
Kathie, I think we both know who you are talking about. I take their comments with a grain of salt.
Correction, the “Y” should be “I” in sandi
Yes well Kathie, you are certainly a bona fide cut and paste plagiarizer, just what we needed here!
@Sandi, so sorry you can’t dominate the blog anymore.
@b.o.h. Yes, we do know what I was trying to illustrate and I’m guessing it went right over their head.
@Kristen – the last paragraph of the RT post involved Crumb & Get It. Sandi then retorted, ‘after that little flap’.
Perhaps it’s difficult for you to follow the thread, but please don’t print it out – that’ll give money to those greedy corporations that produce and sell paper and you’ll completely destroy a tree, honey.
Kathie, again, more slowly. Just because she was there “after that little flap” doesn’t mean she went BECAUSE OF IT. Is this really that difficult?
But you rock, carry on, great work.
#27 Kathie, I guess some words are little tough for you to deal with, but she said “after that little flap,” not “because of that little flap.” I also fail to see where Sandi said she “drove up there for no reason except to see a small business owner.” Those, in fact, were your words.
Glad to help you understand what happened here.
Awwww… sorry to be raining on your parade.
#30 Kathie, Glad we were able to help straighten you out as to what it was Sandi REALLY said and also that you were the one who said she was going there just to see one merchant. If you want to play, you need to keep up.
“Updated at 4:30 p.m., Saturday. The Obama campaign initially sent the wrong address. It’s 513 East Main Street, not West Main Street.”
Well, darn. You would think the mighty obama campaign would know what address is correct?
Sandi, the only desperation on my part is in trying to catch my breath after laughing at you so hard. And as for sad, enjoy your internet “win”. Have a great day!
