The big Clinton-vs.-Obama race was a bit slow in getting to southcentral Pennsylvania, but it's definitely here now.

John Kerry is in Harrisburg today, stumping for Barack Obama. Chelsea Clinton was at York College last week, stumping for ... one guess. They sent our education reporter, Nichole Dobo, to cover that one. I hope my editors didn't think I was serious about my intention to find out whether or not Chelsea thinks I'm cute. But given the way I conduct myself around the office, I must admit that I could see where they would be concerned.

And, as I found out Friday, Joseph C. Wilson IV is going to be the guest speaker at The Democratic Society of York's annual Jefferson/Jackson Day Dinner on Thursday. As in, the diplomat and husband of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Wilson has been stumping for Clinton. Just today, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a piece by Wilson criticizing Obama's foreign policy. But regardless of where they stand on the Obama-vs.-Clinton question, this is quite a coup for local Democrats.

I'm looking forward to covering it. And no, I don't intend to ask Wilson if he thinks I'm cute. Hell, I know I'm cute! I don't care what everyone else says.
