Presidential Nominees Hit Philly For The Weekend

PHILADELPHIA (CBS3/AP) ― Pennsylvania is again hosting the presidential campaigns this weekend as candidates vie for voters in the key battleground state.

On Friday evening, rocker Jon Bon Jovi performed at the home of Comcast executive David Cohen at a $10,000 per person fundraiser for Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

Obama will make four stops in Philadelphia on Saturday, including rallies at a park and the Mayfair Diner in Northeast Philadelphia.

GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will start Saturday in western Pennsylvania with a rally in Johnstown.

The self-described "hockey mom" will then head to Philadelphia, where she'll drop the ceremonial first puck in the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers.

On Sunday, Democratic VP hopeful Joe Biden travels to Scranton for a rally with former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
