Here’s your Monday morning update on the road to the Pennsylvania Primary:
* 15 days until Pennsylvania goes to the polls on April 22. That’s exactly two weeks from tomorrow.
Neither candidate has much in the way of appearances today. Which could be good news for Hillary Clinton, who finds herself putting out another brush fire in her own camp.
This is not what she needs right now, with polls showing her once sizeable lead over Barack Obama getting perilously thin.
On Sunday her senior strategist left the campaign, on the heels of word that one of his firm’s PR clients included Colombia. Mark Penn was working with the South American country on a free trade deal, even as Clinton was railing on the campaign trail against NAFTA and just such trade pacts.
That makes two top aides who have hit the exits on Hillary in just the past month.
Not what she needed two weeks before the crucial Pennsylvania vote. Don’t think Obama has not noticed. He will roll out a new series of TV commercials in the state this week, one targeting Clinton’s lead among blue-collar workers.
15 days … and counting.
