Barack Obama's campaign today released details of next week's Boston rally with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who announced his endorsement of Obama this week. Close followers of Patrick's gubernatorial campaign last year will recognize the site.

Obama and Patrick will appear at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday evening at the Parkman Bandstand in Boston Common. Patrick led a rally from the same bandstand in the heat of the governor's race last fall. His media team -- led by David Axelrod, the Chicago-based ad-maker now working for Obama -- liked the event so much they filmed it and used clips for an artful TV spot late in the campaign.
