CAESARS POCONO RESORTS INVITES CLINTON AND OBAMA TO GIVE LOVE A CHANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA

— Couples-Only Properties Hope to Reconnect Democratic Party Through Friendly Debate —

LAKEVILLE, PA – In an effort to bring a more congenial tone to the race for the White House, Caesars Pocono Resorts — a collection of three couples-only resorts in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania — today cordially invites Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to visit the place where love lives for a domestic issues debate. As the candidates continue to tour the region and tempers flair and mud is slung, Caesars Pocono Resorts calls on Clinton and Obama to put aside their differences and show the rest of the country that the Pennsylvania Primary can showcase the best, not the worst, of the blue party.

“We understand the importance of spending time on truly domestic issues. Where better to discuss these issues than the place where love lives?” said Caesars Pocono Resorts Lead Romance Concierge Francis Cruz. “Couples come here to reconnect and recharge their relationships — we invite the trail-weary candidates to do the same.”

Moderated by Cruz, the proposed debate will cover issues like the environment, healthcare, religion, education, and fiscal policy.

To further sweeten the invitation, Caesars Pocono Resorts is offering an exclusive campaign supporter/media rate until April 22nd, the day of the primary, at each of its three properties: Cove Haven Resort in Lakeville, PA, Paradise Stream Resort in Mount Pocono, PA and Pocono Palace Resort in Marshalls Creek, PA. For additional information call 1-800-972-7168 or visit www.CPResorts.com.
