Hillary Clinton to visit the old 'hood

Posted by BRETT LIEBERMAN, Of The Patriot-News March 10, 2008 07:17AM

The six-week slog to Pennsylvania's April 22 primary begins in earnest today when U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton lands in Scranton for the start of a two-day sweep that includes rallies in Harrisburg and Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Even the Easter Bunny is endorsing Clinton, according to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, which notes what we've heard that the Democratic presidential hopeful may visit the old Diamond Avenue neighborhood, where her family lived prior their move to Illinois.

Clinton never lived there herself, but did vacation at the family's cottage on Lake Winola, where brothers Hugh and Tony Rodham still visit each summer.

Demographically, issue-wise and because she's got much of the political establishment on her side, Pennsylvania's widely seen as leaning Clinton's way as John Baer notes as he weighs in on women and Latinos in today's Philadelphia Daily News

Pretty soon the whole gang will be here.
