Casey, Fattah, Murphy, others to stump for Obama tonight
By Dan Hirschhorn, PolitickerPA.com ReporterThe presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), is coordinating a statewide grand opening of its campaign field offices, now numbering 29, with prominent Democratic politicians schedule to speak on Obama's behalf throughout the state tonight.
Most of the offices have already been open for some time, but with U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) spending significantly more time in Pennsylvania than Obama has to date, Obama's campaign is looking to increase its visibility.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is among those stumping for Obama tonight. The junior Senator is scheduled to speak at office openings in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, the campaign said today.
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Philadelphia) and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter will speak at different office openings in Philadelphia. U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Bristol) will speak in Doylestown, along with Bucks County Democratic Committee Chairman John Cordisco.
Other speakers across the state include Auditor General Jack Wagner in Pittsburgh and Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham in Allentown, along with numerous mayors, state Senators, county commissioners and party chairs from across the state

speaking for obama
It seems like a number of Democratic U.S. Representatives have quite a lot of time to campaign for Obama this year. I suppose there isn't much work for a member of Congress these days, anyway. $4.00 a gallon for gasoline is certainly less important than appearances for other candidates, isn't it?
