Despite Penn's Ivy League status, games of "spot the Democrat" usually play out a bit more like Hide and Seek, as Dems are found cowering in the shadows of uber-conservative Huntsman Hall, where Republican presidential nominee John McCain spoke last semester. Not true this week, as visits from big party names brought Penn Dems out of the woodwork in liberal droves. Obama fans enjoyed a free concert from Penn alum John Legend at a rally on Monday (apparently Kal Penn was there too, but excuse us if the novelty has worn off) and Michelle Obama visited on Tuesday. Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton is on campus today seeking the Colbert bump, with the extra boost of receiving the DP's endorsement. And the one celebrity the whole party can enjoy? Former "presidential nominee" Stephen Colbert himself has taken over Annenberg's Zellerbach auditorium, bringing his show with him. Dems, don't forget to vote this Tuesday; let's send these celebs home with a primary to remember before our return to political oblivion.
