HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A gigantic American flag forms the backdrop behind the stage where Hillary Clinton is due to speak at 5:30 p.m. The gumbo-sized Old Glory was requested, presumably, to mask the pseudo-Islamic architecture of the Zembo Masonic Temple, which features a tile-and-minaret décor in the faux-Turkish style.
It isn't exactly clear why Team Clinton chose this as the venue for Hillary's final major event before Tuesday's crucial Democratic primary. Most likely, the Clinton campaign chose the Zembo temple because it's affordable -- and given the latest news about Hillary's fundraising, every penny counts. The lastest Federal Election Commission numbers show Hillary has more than $10 million in debts against only about $9 million cash on hand.
