The day after the April 22nd primaries left us, like many other Pennsylvanians, feeling like cast off one-night-stands, watching the news vans drive off and the reporters cast their collective gaze to the hotter contest down the Appalachian chain.

Dear Philadelphia Voters:

Author’s Note: I hate to be on the losing side. I think this covers me regardless of the PA Primary results.

Wow... Even the BBC is talking about us these days.

There may be twenty long days left until Pennsylvania chooses its party nominees, but there are only two days left to cast your vote in Phillyist's People's Choice Endorsement! Warm up your voting muscles and tell us by the end of the day on Friday why you think your candidate should be number one in November. On Monday morning, Phillyist will announce the results. So far Barack Obama is winning by a landslide, but a lot can happen in two days—remember New Hampshire?

Yesterday, in a speech to the AFL-CIO, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton endeared herself to the citizens of Philadelphia by comparing herself to Philly’s Phavorite Phictional Phrized Phighter, Rocky Balboa:

Because Obama's speech was delivered to a private audience in the middle of the day on Tuesday, many of you may have missed it. Phillyist contributor Warren Longmire posted his thoughts on the speech that day, complete with a link to a video of the speech found on Huffington Post. Because the speech is still making headlines, we wanted to take the opportunity to embed it in its entirety here. We are not posting this video by means of endorsing a candidate, but rather because it is a newsworthy event that happened in our city. The speech runs approximately forty minutes in length (the remainder of it may be found after the jump); to save time in viewing or video buffering, you may want to read the transcript on MSNBC. Whatever you feel about Obama, however, the speech is really worth a watch or a read.

Today is Super Tuesday, and primaries are being held in both New Jersey and Delaware, making this really well-produced political video relevant to many Phillyist readers. If you're registered in either of those states, remember to get out and vote – no matter who you plan to cast your ballot for!
