Lehigh Valley a "bellwether" |

March 13, 2008 - The Morning Call ran a piece today about the weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania Primary and our area's importance in the contest for the Democratic nomination for President.
From today's piece: "With its long tradition as a political bellwether, and its mix of old-school, blue-collar Democrats and recent émigrés from New York and New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley is likely to be a frequent destination for Clinton, D-N.Y. and Obama, D-Ill., in the seven weeks leading up to the April 22 presidential primary."
We couldn't agree more. Each Presidential contest to date has resulted in a surge of Democratic voter registrations along with excitement and a revitalized interest in electing Democrats up and down the ballot. Sam joins all of Pennsylvania's Democrats in welcoming the campaigns to The Keystone State. This is our opportunity to highlight the priorities of Pennsylvania voters on the national political scene.
