The cavalry arrives

The cavalry arrived yesterday. And they brought the presidential campaign with them.

Joe Biden wins the contest for first to hit the ground in Delco, with a campaign stop at Linvilla Orchards. Read Alex Rose’s account of the day here.

He won’t be the last. My guess is we’ll see both presidential candidates stumping here in Delco. I would hope we’ll also get an up-close-and-personal look at Gov. Sarah Palin as well. That remains to be seen.

That’s because we are sitting in Ground Zero for the presidential campaign.

Pennsylvania is being considered one of the key swing states, along with places such as Ohio and Michigan.

Since John McCain tapped the newcomer Palin to join him on the GOP ticket, the race has been energized. Obama’s lead in the polls is shrinking. That’s true for the race here in Pennsylvania as well.

Biden was first to arrive. The only thing I’m sure of is that he will not be the last.

The election is 48 days away. It’s an eight-week dash to the polls.

Get used to seeing a lot of the candidates. It’s not a coincidence.

It’s because we matter. Our votes could swing the election. We are important. And we should treat it as such.

Get involved. Know the issues, and the candidates.

You can’t say we didn’t warn you. We have new neighbors.

Their names are McCain, Obama, Palin and Biden.
