TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - President Barack Obama will appear at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel - not New Brunswick - when he comes to New Jersey for a campaign rally for Gov. Jon Corzine next week.
The Corzine campaign announced on its Web site Thursday that the rally would be moved from Rutgers University in New Brunswick to accommodate a larger crowd.
Corzine campaign manager Maggie Moran says in a Web video the move was made to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
More than 50,000 people have signed up through the governor's Web site hoping to go. About 17,500 will be allowed to attend the July 16 rally.
The original location could hold only about 5,000 people.
The president is also expected to headline a fundraising event for Corzine while he's in the Garden State.
