As reported by The Temple News, Sen. Barack Obama spoke to some 35,000 people outside the National Constitution Center in his first open rally in Philadelphia on Friday, days before the April 22 primary. Latest polls from Temple University still peg Sen. Hillary Clinton ahead of Obam, though undecided voters tend to swing his way.

David Brooks wrote a column for the New York Times on how Obama has fallen into normal political representations, most notably his misrepresentation of Sen. John McCain’s stance on U.S. presence in Iraq, as you can see in this speech.

Obama’s speech came less than a week before he inside the Constitution Center, debating Clinton, of which The Temple News had video coverage, see below.
