Ely is a small town in northern Minnesota (population 3,724) and is almost the end of the road:

It used to be an iron mining town but the mines closed decades ago. The town has survived by attracting sportsmen and anglers - but it's still a forgotten small town in the middle of nowhere that nobody knows about unless they came from there. In fact, the only reason I know or care about Ely is that my mom's family has lived there for about a century.

Imagine my surprise to discover that the Obama campaign is reaching out even to Ely.
