The projection of politicians through comedy is actually quite important to candidates’ election hopes. Today, the Pennsylvania commonwealth primary is going to be important to both of the Democratic hopefuls. And with 7 percent of Pennsylvania voters still undecided, last minute choices could greatly impact the election.

Last week, student government leaders at several Philadelphia universities, including Penn, Temple and Villanova Universities and Haverford College, jointly authored a letter endorsing Senator Barack Obama as the Democratic candidate for president. Despite criticism, they are standing by the endorsement.

The IU logo appeared in photos of Bill Clinton because he was at IU. It was visible when Sen. Barack Obama visited campus during the women’s Little 500. And it was on stage with Dave Matthews as he performed in support of Obama. No one is going to confuse these as political endorsements.

McCain chose Carnegie Mellon as the venue for the unveiling of his economic plan. On the surface, that’s great for us - students of all parties had a chance to ooh and ah before a man that may lead the country. Still, we have to wonder what McCain’s speech even had to do with Carnegie Mellon.

Despite the 85-degree heat, Philadelphia residents came out in record numbers to hear Obama speak at Independence Mall Friday night. According to the Obama campaign, the rally drew a crowd of 35,000 - his largest so far.

Hillary Clinton told a crowd of 1,500 two days before the Pennsylvania primary that she will make affordable education a priority if she is chosen as the Democratic candidate instead of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
