Plant-gate girl appears at Obama rally Posted: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 11:08 AM by Mark Murray

She's baaaaaaack. The young college student who asked Clinton a planted question at a campaign appearance last month, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, made a cameo at an Obama rally at Grinnell College last night.

Obama, as he's accustomed to doing on the stump, joked before taking questions, "These questions have not been pre-arranged or pre-determined."

But when he said that, a group pointed to one girl standing front and center near the stage. Obama looked at her and said, "Is this the young lady right here? Oh my goodness."

He went on to joke, "I didn't know she was going to be here. I'm not going to call on her!"

Gallo-Chasanoff was hidden by the crowd from the cameras on the press riser, so her response or what she may have said was lost. She kept a loyal cohort of friends around her as she dodged reporters after the event was over.
