Here’s your Wednesday morning update on the road to the Pennsylvania Primary:
* 20 days until Pennsylvania goes to the polls on April 22.
* The big news today is that Sen. Barack Obama brings his “Road to Change” bus tour to Delaware County.
After an address before the AFL-CIO Convention in Philadelphia, Obama will hold a rally at Strath Haven High School in Wallingford. He’ll be there around noon. Later this afternoon the candidate will film a session of “Hardball with Chris Matthews” at West Chester University.
But first things first. Obama will start his day at 7 a.m. with an encore performance on WIP sports talk radio, again chatting with host Angelo Cataldi and the Morning Crew. Hopefully this time he will avoid any references to a “typical white person” that fanned such controversy the last time he was on.
* In the meantime, the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton will be in the western part of the state, with a full slate of appearances in the Pittsburgh area. Her daughter Chelsea also will keep pressing the flesh with appearances in York and Harrisburg.
* There was some sobering news for team Clinton yesterday. A new Rasmussen poll showed that her lead in Pennsylvania, which was double digits just last week, has dwindled to a slim 5 points. Clinton now leads Obama, 47-42.
The key to Clinton’s decline is apparently disenchantment with her description of a trip to Bosnia during her time as first lady in which she described her arrival as coming amid sniper fire, but later admitting she misspoke.
