Obama, Biden step up Pa. campaign
By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter
U.S. Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Joe Biden (D-Del.): Getty Images PhotoDemocratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden will campaign in Pennsylvania the next several days.
Obama will campaign in Lancaster on Friday, where it's reported he will talk about his economic plans.
That is the same message is expected to be delivered by Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden. The two will campaign in Langhorne, located just north of Philadelphia, on Friday.
The Obama campaign has made several stops in Pennsylvania since the end of the Democratic National Convention and consistently touted Biden's Scranton roots, even airing a TV ad exclusively in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Before last week, Republican presidential nominee John McCain had campaigned in person in the Keystone State much more vigorously than Obama, making stops throughout the state.
The Real Clear Politics polling average puts Obama ahead in the state by 5 points.
