A crowd that organizers said was the largest in the parade’s 47-year history jammed downtown streets to greet Sen. Hillary Clinton, who returned to Scranton Saturday for the second time in five days, again to adoration.
“Hillary, Hillary, Hillary,” the people who filled downtown sidewalks frequently chanted.
As Mrs. Clinton walked, dozens of people constantly rushed ahead on adjacent sidewalks to get as close to her as possible. Girls screamed like when the Beatles arrived in the United States.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said parade day coordinator James “Bambi” Coyle, who’s been involved with parade planning for 20 years.
“You can’t believe the support you have here,” one woman yelled. “I love you,” Tara Meredick, 34, of Taylor, shouted before snapping Mrs. Clinton’s picture as the candidate paused. “I love you, too,” Mrs. Clinton replied.
“Mom, I just shook Hillary Clinton’s hand,” one girl shouted.

“Hillary, Hillary, Hillary”
To which she responded:
“Huma-na, Huma-na, Huma-na”
Bambi does not understand the process of bussing in paid supporters to boost the candidate.....
This is why Scranton is where it is today. Ignorant voters.
...& my ring's missing!
Later,later,later
what is it with liberals and their inability to control their emotions?
is being near their politician as close as they can come to a religious experience?
Hillary’s fools turn out in Scranton!...So friggin what?

There are few things to remember about Scranton. Hillary’s father and quite possible both of her parents are buried there. Scranton has a very large Irish population. Scranton as well as it’s sister city Wilkes-Barre annually celebrate St. Patrick’s day parade that is in comparison only to NYC. Most people that were there were not there to see her.
This is nothing more than a well timed photo op with a already captive and more than likely impaired crowd.
Having previously lived in the WB/Scranton area for over 25 years, I can tell you that there are many people there who STILL are living as though it were 40 years ago. Political corruption is rampant, which is why Hillary is so adored there (in addition to the fact that her father was from the area).
Oh and I forgot to add that both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre have dwindling populations, rampant political and union corruption, organized crime, high poverty rates, substandard housing, and along with repressive state taxes, both cities require a 3% payroll tax to live there.
In other words it is perfect place for Hillary and her ilk. Scranton is an example of Hillary’s plan for all of us.
Actually, it’s Revello’s in Old Forge (a “suburb” of Scranton), and home to the world’s BEST pizza.
Is there something in the water in Scranton that turns women into womyn?
Why am I not surprised that there is a guy on the Hillary! campaign named "Bambi"? Or a girl named "James" with a nickname of "Bambi"?
Nothing, and especially with the x42's, is done by accident.
They are the most programming things I've ever come to realize.
Even x42's "gaffes" (IMO) are part of a script.
The bwitch is that evil combination of control and (seemingly) demure that makes it most dangerous of the two.
I can't begin to describe how I feel about these two.
Yep; Scranton has the 4th largest St Patrick's Parade in the country. Most of the area's Irish ancestors were from County Mayo.
