Obama coming to Philly on Friday for fundraiser

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) will be in Philadelphia on Friday to attend a fundraiser at the Sheraton in Center City, The Morning Call reports.

It has yet to be announced whether or not Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, will hold any public events in town that day. But his campaign had previously identified Pennsylvania as a key-stop in the economic tour that is serving as the launching point for his general election campaign.

The fundraiser is scheduled for 6 p.m., and will come two days after his opponent, U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appears in town for a town hall meeting.
