Obama to be interviewed on 610 WIP Thursday morning

ALEJANDRO A. ALVAREZ / PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS

Looking for the key sports-fan vote in the upcoming PA primary, Sen. Barack Obama will be interviewed by Angelo Cataldi and Co. on 610 WIP at 7:40 Thursday morning, Cataldi confirmed earlier tonight. The host joked that any rumors of him becoming Obama's running mate are just that. No word on whether Cataldi will offer Obama a spot in next year's Wing Bowl during the interview which can be streamed online here. Last week Sen. Hillary Clinton was interviewed on Q102's Booker morning show.

UPDATE: No bombshells dropped during Obama's five-minute interview, but the senator called Hillary Clinton "a smart lady," but said his years in the Illinois State Legislature have given him more legislative experience than Clinton has. "The issue is not how long have you been in Washington, but the decisions you make," Obama said, though he managed to hold his tongue and not deliver the rest of his popular soundbite about Clinton voting for the Iraq war while he was always opposed to it. After Obama hung up the next caller said he was a 26-year-old who was undecided between Obama and Clinton, but thought it was cool of Obama to do the WIP interview, and says he's now supporting Obama.

    Its really sad when the politcians go on fluff shows and avoid the shows where a real discussion can take place. Booker is a lady and Cataldi is an old woman.

    Nice to see all the hate coming out by cowards hiding behind the net. Angelo is as good as any interviewer in the country and OBAMA is on there because of the impact of that show. CATALDI rules.

    What is whith the Kidd Chris love fest? Kidd Chris is the least funniest man on radio. Hey Kidd the 80s are over. How about coming up with something more original then the tired crank calls, fake laughter from his "sidekicks", unfunny insulting interviews. Enjoy your time on air b/c it will be short lived

    I was offended by the damage control speech. First, he downplays with saying over and over, all of us have had pastors who said something controversial. CONTROVERSIAL, THAT ISN'T THE WORD!!!! Less than 1% of all America have heard such hate in the name of God on Sunday. Two, my church is NOT segregated, his is, but not mine. Third, he is callous, bringing up his grandmom for political gain made me cringe.

    Symbolic of the openness he chose by going on a show with a large suburban audience and the openness of Tuesday's speech Obama is symbolic of the openness we need in Washington DC.

    Did anyone listen to the WMMR interview yesterday morning? They asked him if he did any student government in high school and he said he didn't...then he explained when he got into in in college. Then he went back to the high school and said..."When I was in high school all I did was play basketball and drink beer". I guess that was a slip...Did I hear it correctly or did he accidently promote underage drinking.
