Students travel to lend Obama campaign hand


"YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Standing in front of a crowd of about 300 in the Greater Mill Creek Community Center, Johnnetta Cole told the assembled Obama supporters that they gave her hope for change. In the audience were about 50 Penn State students -- most members of the Penn State chapter of Students for Barack Obama -- visiting Ohio this weekend to canvass for their favorite candidate. The students' trip was funded entirely through donations. Group President Mike Stewart sent an e-mail through various Obama listservs throughout the state soliciting contributions, and supporters responded with about $2,000 in donations in just 10 days."
