The N.Y Times covered Senator Barack Obama train car tour through Wynnewood, PA. They say Obama boarded a train car at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station and opened a four-city rail tour, arriving at his first stop here to hundreds of cheering supporters.
As he stepped off the back of a blue Georgia 300 Club Car, festooned with red, white and blue bunting, the crowd erupted in applause. Strains of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising” filled the air as Mr. Obama made his way to a stage built alongside the tracks.
“Now it is our turn, Pennsylvania,” Mr. Obama said. “This is a defining moment in our history. All of you are here because you can feel it.”
For more than a year, the field of presidential candidates have campaigned across America by plane and by bus. The trip across Southeastern Pennsylvania today was the first run on a train of the 2008 race, with Mr. Obama slowly making his way from Philadelphia to Harrisburg.
It is the final weekend push before the Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, where Mr. Obama is locked in a fierce battle with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Today, as he delivered his closing argument to the voters of this state, Mr. Obama focused on the Democratic side of the contest and drew sharp distinctions with Mrs. Clinton. To a burst of applause, he declared: “You do have a choice in this primary.”
This Pennsylvania Primary is getting tense. It's good of Obama to be making these positive appearances after offending many with his "bitter" comments.
Hillary Clinton may have another thing coming to her, I think Obama has a good chance. It will be interesting to see considering they have continually been neck and neck throughout this race.
I enjoyed this article because a very vivid picture was painted of his trip and it was enjoyable to read.
