UCF is prepping for the arrival of both President Obama and former President Clinton who will hold a rally on campus this morning.  Hurricane Sally caused the rally to be pushed to an earlier time, so that President Obama can safely arrive back in D.C. ahead of the hurricane. Doors now open at 8 a.m. with speeches to begin around 10 a.m. Tickets are required and have now all been passed out.  U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, seeking re-election to a third term, also will be speaking at the rally.

Obama arrived to Orlando late last night, swinging by the Orlando campaign office with a half a dozen pizza's from Anthony's Pizza just down Colonial from the office before calling some local residents and phone banking for the campaign.
