Obama praises Valley business at campaign stop
During his first of two stops in northeastern Pennsylvania today, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama praised a Lehigh Valley business as a "success story" in a region that has seen its share of closing steel mills and factories.

Speech wins over some on the fence
Michael Lashner's family is lobbying him to vote for Hillary Clinton. His friends are pushing for Barack Obama.
The 22-year-old Muhlenberg College student walked into Obama's on-campus speech Monday looking to break the tie.
Voters such as Lashner, of Jamison, Bucks County, are a key to the presidential campaign in Pennsylvania. Did Obama's vaunted rhetoric -- heard live in the Lehigh Valley for the first time -- win the minds (or at least the hearts) of the one-in-seven Democrats who are still undecided?

Clinton talks economy in Bucks, meets with truckers in Harrisburg
FALLS TOWNSHIP, Bucks County: Hillary Clinton told hundreds of supporters at a rally Monday night in lower Bucks County that she plans to cure the nation's ailing economy by cutting taxes for the middle class, ending tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and calling a ''timeout'' on trade agreements.
Speaking inside a once-thriving U.S. Steel mill that now sits closed in the Keystone Industrial Port Complex here, Clinton said she wants to create the same kind of ''clean energy'' jobs across the country that Pennsylvania has lured onto the old U.S. Steel complex in recent years.
