I don't know how he got there, but Obama drew 6,500 people at a rally in Camden and another 11,000 in Newark this afternoon.
People began lining up early in the morning - police officers said as early as 6 a.m.
After a little research, we learn that Obama arrived at Newark-Liberty International Airport aboard Air Force One just before 3 p.m. and emerged as the plane door opened on the tarmac a few minutes later. He was joined by NJ Gov. Jon Corzine (the only incumbent governor seeking re-election this year, actually.)
The pair walked down the steps and into the presidential limousine, where the motorcade departed for the Prudential Center. About two-dozen family members of Secret Service and Air Force One staff watched from a penned-in area nearby.
Corzine apparently had the crowd chanting, "Yes, We Can!" I would, too, if the President was hanging out with me for a few hours. FYI, Obama carried New Jersey in November 2008, with 57 percent of the vote. The president called Corzine "my good friend and your governor."
The President most likely will fly home tonight.
