News Brief: Clinton, Obama open headquarters in Phila.

In preparation for next month's Pennsylvania primary, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both set up Philadelphia campaign headquarters this weekend.

Obama, an Illinois senator, opened his headquarters at 15th and Sansom streets on Saturday.

Headquarters for Clinton, a New York senator, will be located at Delaware Avenue and Spring Garden Street. She opened her offices yesterday.

The opening of campaign offices in Philadelphia reflects the potential importance of Pennsylvania's primary, which will be held April 22, in determining the Democratic nominee. In Pennsylvania, 103 delegates are at stake.

However, if Clinton does not win in either Texas or Ohio, both of which hold their voting contests on Tuesday, Obama could effectively clinch the nomination.
