'Clinton Country' celebrates St. Patrick's Day By Mike Wereschagin and Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, March 16, 2008
A warm -- and loud -- reception awaited Sen. Hillary Clinton along the St. Patrick's Day parade route Downtown.
Flanked by Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato, Clinton walked the mile-long route Saturday morning as Pittsburghers showered her with affection. Clinton is heavily favored to win Western Pennsylvania in the April 22 Democratic primary, in which she will square off with rival Sen. Barack Obama.
It was Clinton's second day campaigning in the city, after making her first appearance Friday at a Bloomfield gas station. She followed that with a rally in Oakland, where Onorato and Ravenstahl announced their endorsement of her.
Clinton made several stops yesterday to work the parade crowd, signing autographs, chatting with voters and occasionally dodging horse droppings left by the police mounts that went before her. More than 260,000 people turned out for the parade, according to Pittsburgh police estimates. Organizers have said Pittsburgh's is the country's second-largest St. Patrick's Day Parade, behind New York's.

Politician works St. Pat’s Day parade.
Now isn’t that special?
Welcome to western PA.
:)
Well, at least the poor woman is getting some exercise out in the fresh air.
Maybe her head will clear up.
The air is clean in Pittsburgh because the unions killed the steel mills and there is no really large employers here anymore because the freakin taxes are sky high.
And yet they keep voting for democrats...go figure.
With the corrupt government unions in her back pocket in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and with a state full of retired senile citizens, Hillary has the edge. Just like Lynn Swann was rejected in the governorship run, Obama will be rejected in PA. The Pittsburgh politicians stay awake at night trying to figure out how to tax commuters who work in the city each day. Maybe Hillary will help them raise more taxes.
Watch out, man! She's after the green in your wallet!!
PA is Hillary Country: Lots of senior citizens and neer do well white folk. There are not enough neer do well black folk and pot smoking students in PA to save Obama.
