The troops hit the ground in Delaware County today.
And they’re being led by the former commander-in-chief. With a retired admiral at his side.
Former President Bill Clinton will be at a rally at the Middletown campus of Penn State-Delco this afternoon. U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-7, of Edgmont, who served in the Clinton administration, will join him. They’ll hold a rally for Bill’s wife, Hillary.

It’s the first of what undoubtedly will be a long line of appearances by both the Clinton and Barack Obama camps to Delco turf.
It became obvious as soon as Hillary rolled to wins in Ohio and Texas that Pennsylvania would soon be ground zero for the Democratic Party.
They were barely done counting votes in those two states when Chelsea Clinton showed up at the Penn campus and admitted she’ll be a familiar figure over the next month or so.
Here’s why I think Delaware County and the other suburban counties could be the fulcrum in the race. It has to do with the way the state is formed, and the demographic pattern it follows.
Think of the state as a huge T. Obama likely will do well in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh; Clinton should dominate in the central part of the state.
And just as it has in the past several presidential races, and in the gubernatorial war that send Ed Rendell, a former Philadelphia mayor, the Harrisburg, the suburban Philadelphia counties could be the key to the race.
So welcome, Clintons. See you soon, Obama fans.
Brace yourself. It’s going to be a long seven weeks.
