Obama HQ: Like the Sixers without AI?
Marcia Gelbart reports:

8:05 pm

Polls are closed, and people are starting to trickle in - VERY slowly. "It's like going to see a Sixers game without Allen Iverson."

Maybe it is the isolated location - not a lot of passerby, after all. Maybe it's that the Obama folk did not announce til late morning where tonight's shindig would be.

In any case, Bob Casey walked in a few moments ago, right as State Sen. Vince Hughes and his wife drove up. They are on the TV interview circuit right now, as is City Councilman Bill Green.

Bottom line: Plenty of tables still available.

I'm a huge Obama supporter, but I think it's weak that he isn't in PA this evening. You go and talk to the people who have been working so hard, win or lose.
