President Obama will be in Philadelphia tommorow to appear at a fundraiser for Sen. Arlen Specter in Center City.
The president and Specter will fly in together from Pittsburgh, where they are scheduled to speak at a rally to member of the AFL-CIO.
Air Force One is slated to touch down at 3:45 p.m. Philadelphia International Airport.
A motorcade will then travel up Interstate 95 to the Convention Center for a 4 p.m. reception for 750 invitees.
The highway is usually closed for presidential motorcades, so motorists should take note.
More than 1,000 people are expected to attend the event, which organizers hope will raise $2.5 million for Specter's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
