Right before I left last night, I found out that the Company I work for is so enthusiastic about the Tea Party rage, they are paying for buses to take those that wish to attend OTHER Tea Parties in the region to places such as New York, Philly, Harrisburg and Trenton. The one in New York City (at City Hall Park) is expecting to draw as many as 10,000 people, and has Newt Gingrich booked to speak. The one I am attending is hoping for as many as 1,500 to 2,000... but Scranton is pretty "blue" right now, even with two top-notch Catholic Universities in the city. We'll hear from the Archbishop of Philadelphia, the local GOP leadership (including former Governor Schweiker (sp?)... and last election's GOP candidate, Lynn Swan.
Still, there are enough traditional Italian, Irish and Polish neighborhoods still in Scranton that we could see quite a few "blue dog" Democrats out and about, too. Lest we forget, Obama still isn't the popular "jock" here that he is elsewhere... NEPA is "Hillary" territory, and the DNP election still rankles in Scranton.
