John Micek of the Allentown Morning Call shares this from the streets of Philadelphia. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don’t think Obama’s bringing factory work back to PA…
At the corner of Broad and Chestnut Streets, we met up with Obama backer Arnetta Reddy, 62, a grandmother of six, and self-described veteran of the civil rights battles of the 1960s. When we happened upon her, she was shouting slogans through an Obama sign she’d rolled into a cone.“You want your factories to open back up? You’d better vote right the first time,” she shouted. “Vote for someone who’s been a perfect gentleman.”
She broke away long enough to tell us that she knows Obama’s in for an uphill fight today.
“[Clinton] has the support of Rendell and the mayor,” she said. “I understand that because it’s the same old party machine that it’s been for so long. I’m voting my heart. I’m out here … to vote for someone I believe in. I’m out here for my grandchildren.”
