The Clinton campaign organized a conference call this morning between Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, Philadelphia Mayor Michale Nutter, campaign consultant Mark Penn, spokesperson Howard Wolfson and a drove of reporters.

Despite the presence of Nutter and Rendell, fully half the questions were still about what would happen to delegates from Florida and Michigan. Looking at the numbers, Michigan has 128 pledged delegates, Florida has 185 and Pennsylvania has 158.

So I guess it makes sense for Florida and Michigan to outshine Pennsylvania to some extent. Combined, they have about twice as many pledged delegates as Pennsylvania and the decision of what to do with them will make a huge impact.

After the jump, Nutter sure loves sports analogies!

Closer to home, Nutter got a question on what he would be doing to help out Clinton’s outreach efforts to minority communities, and always a fan of sports analogies gave us this gem. “We’re going to be doing a full court press outreach.”

And here’s him at the Clinton rally at Temple on Tuesday, comparing Hillary to a football team’s quarterback. “We in the red zone!”
