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.
