Anticipation...

They're teasing us.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and their relatives and other supporters are making appearances in West Chester, Pottstown, King of Prussia and all around the Philadelphia suburban counties, but when will they actually make it HERE?

Actually, I heard a rumor Tuesday that Barack Obama (or at least his entourage) might swing through Phoenixville either before or after his taping of "Hardball" this afternoon. We're keeping alert to the chance of coverage, while trying not to get our hopes up too much.

But it's not hoping too much to expect that one or maybe all of the candidates, including John McCain, may make it here eventually. After all, they have three weeks left until the primary, and this borough is well worth a visit.
John Edwards thought so when he was running for vice president in the last election cycle; he made a speech at Reeves Park.

Also, it's easy to think of one particular candidate who might love to latch onto Phoenixville's namesake icon of rebirth, but really, who couldn't make a nice connection with an image like that?

Sincerely,

Patricia, I contacted the Obama campaign in Illinois several months ago requesting a campaign stop for Phoenixville.

Perhaps a few more calls to the headquarters would entice them to make the visit a definite rather than a possibility!
