If Hillary Clinton is counting on Scranton, one of it's native sons is in the other guy's corner.
Barack Obama's campaign says he's won the endorsement of Pennysylvania's Democratic Senator Bob Casey.
A campaign spokesman says the endorsement will come in Pittsburgh Friday as Obama begins a six-day campaign bus tour throught the Keystone State. That bus tour is scheduled to stop in Scranton on Tuesday.
Pennsylvania is the next big prize in the otugh contest between Obama and Clinton. She holds a double-digit lead in recent voter polls in Pennsylvania.
Casey's support could help Obama make inroads among Catholic voters. Catholics constitute more than 30% of the state.
