It's GOP-arty time!

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The temperature on Campaign ’08 will get cranked up several degrees today.

Last week it was Joe Biden at Linvilla Orchards.

Today it’s the Republicans’ turn, and they’re bringing out the heavy artillery.

The GOP ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin will hold a rally at the Media Courthouse this afternoon.

About 15,000 people are expected to attend. That would make it the largest political event in the county since Ronald Reagan graced the same courtyard back in 1984.

Not to be completely outdone, Michelle Obama has a campaign stop in Philadelphia. Now all we need is a stop by her husband, Democratic standard-bearer Barack Obama, to hit for the political cycle here in Delco.

I’ve said it any number of times and will say it again here. Pennsylvania very well could be the key swing state in this election. And in order to win Pennsylvania, McCain needs a huge showing in the Philadelphia suburbs to keep pace with what should be a big turnout for Obama in the city.

Get used to seeing a lot of these folks. They’re going to be here for the next eight weeks.
