SOUTH BEND — The campaign of presidential candidate Barack Obama will open an office in South Bend, and Obama will campaign "in every corner" of Indiana, according to information released Monday by the Obama campaign.

David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign director, said in a conference call Monday that a schedule of campaign stops is yet to be worked out, but that the Obama campaign will seek to establish a "heavy presence" in the state before its May 6 primary.

"It’s going to be a very important primary," Plouffe said.

Former Indiana Congressman Tim Roemer, who is campaigning for Obama in Indiana, spoke at the conference call on the issues that matter to Hoosiers. He highlighted economic issues and national security.
