March Madness, the political kind
March Madness is about to begin.
No, not that silly college basketball tournament. Besides, unless one of them miraculously wins their league tournament, this year’s NCAA men’s tournament might have to do without a representative from Philadelphia.
I’m not sure the Chester Clippers are not the best team in the region.
No, this is about another kind of madness. We’re talking Pennsylvania politics.
The candidates hit the ground running yesterday.
Hillary Clinton could have gone anywhere. She chose Temple.
The former first lady was cheered by 4,000 wildly cheering supporters inside a packed McGonigle Hall on the North Philadelphia campus.
In the meantime, Barack Obama was at a windmill plant in Fairless Hills, Bucks County. He was pushing “green” businesses.
Seems appropriate. Between the two of them, Clinton and Obama over the next six weeks are going to provide enough hot air to power a small country.
It’s a six-week sprint for the heart and soul of Pennsylvania – and its 158 delegates. While no one was paying attention, Obama quietly put Mississippi into the win column yesterday. Now all eyes will be focused on Pa.
Team Clinton is planning a full-court press. Today former President Bill Clinton will be in Erie and Johnstown. Daughter Chelsea will continue to woo young voters at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre, followed by another session at Lebanon Valley College in Annville.
Tonight here in Delaware County, the Obama troops will throw a little party to open up their county headquarters in Springfield. The candidate is not expected to be there, but tomorrow his bride, Michelle Obama, is expected in Villanova.
It’s only a matter of time before both candidates put in some face time here in Delaware County.
Republican nominee Sen. John McCain will beat them to the punch. He’s holding a town hall meeting at Springfield Country Club on Friday.
It’s becoming more and more apparent that the Philadelphia suburbs, including Delaware County, could be the “key” to winning the Keystone State.
Brace yourself. We’re about to become ground zero for Democratic politics.
By the way, this is not the time to tune out. You might want to pay attention. All that’s at stake is the likely Democratic nominee.
