Madfloridian's Journal - Nice gesture by Hillary. Visits Obama's Lakeland headquarters in Florida.

This is in the heart of what is called the I-4 Corridor, a very hard area for Democrats. To have 60 people doing anything for Democrats in the middle of the day is a marvelous thing.

I must say this was a nice thing for her to do.

Here is the video of her visit.

Hillary stumps for Obama

U.S. SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON gets a leg hug from 5-year-old Sydney Tritschler during an impromptu visit to the Polk County Obama headquarters while traveling to Tampa on Monday.

LAKELAND | Sixty volunteers were hard at work on phones and laptops at the Polk County Obama for President Headquarters on Monday when they got a surprise visit from his former opponent - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"This is marvelous to see so many people hard at work,'' said Clinton, who decided to pay the spur-of-the-moment visit while en route from an appearance in Kissimmee to a rally in Tampa as she stumps for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama.

Clinton walked into the office at County Line Road and Gateway Boulevard as adults and high school student volunteers were calling local voters to give them information about Obama, and to ask whether they had decided who to vote for.

"Hold on, she's really here," Laura Pinner of Lakeland said to her friend who was on the phone from San Francisco.

Taking the cell phone, Clinton said "Hello, yes it is me."

"We are Jesus-loving Democrats,'' Pinner said of herself and her friend.
