yes, they are! As found in the local newspaper today:

Golden Smog to rally for Barack on Sat.
Friday, February 1st, 2008 by Chris Riemenschneider
Dan Murphy, Gary Louris, Kraig Johnson, Marc Perlman and even their old pal Jeff Tweedy are getting back together as Golden Smog to perform at the rally for Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday at the Target Center (1:30 p.m.). It’s not like the (mostly) local all-star band was needed to help fill the arena or bring attention to the candidate: The free tickets to the event were gobbled up days ago. Geez, who’s the real rock star? You can get on a waiting list here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/minneapolis

When Obama came to Columbia (granted, Oprah came with him) there were about 30,000 people there......they had to move it to the USC football stadium in order to accommodate the crowds......!

this is suposed to be broadcast live, on the kare11.com website (but not neccessarily b'cast on the local tv station channel). The doors for the event open up at 1:30pm Central Time, which was just a few minutes ago.

Obama is scheduled to go on around 3:30pm

Now if the musical performance(s) are broadcast or not, I don't know
