Everyone and their mother knows Hillary Clinton will be on The Colbert Report tonight. But did you know Barack Obama is also on the show? What about John Edwards? No, not the psychic, John Edwards with an "s" at the end. I'm told he ran for public office at least once. Here are the details:

"The Colbert Report" ends its week-long "Doritos Spicy Sweet Pennsylvania Primary Coverage From Chili-Delphia – The City of Brotherly Crunch!" with a bang as Senator Barack Obama (via satellite) and Senator John Edwards (in-person) make surprise appearances on tonight's show.

The appearances by Obama and Edwards are in addition to Senator Hillary Clinton's previously announced appearance.

This episode of "The Colbert Report" will air tonight, Thursday, April 17, at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

The only question now is if Gravel showed. Cross your fingers!

After you watch the show, check back here 'round midnight for a full report.

I would definitely like to see more coverage of the PA Straw Poll for PA Schools on the show.

A teacher's union in PA spent $300,000 of it's own money to run radio ads for Clinton. Meanwhile, Obama supporters have given over $150,000 directly to the PA teachers for their projects that will affect over 30,000 PA children. Who do you think will get the best return on their investment?

I sure hope this gets covered:

Senator Clinton says she will fight for you and your families. Senator Obama says he will involve us all in changing the way government works.

On March 18, Stephen Colbert, issued a challenge to the supporters of both candidates to participate in assisting to fill the requests of individual teachers from Pennsylvania schools to provide specific resources for classrooms. Pennsylvania teachers made requests through Donors Choose. The goal was $66,000 for each candidate. The supporters responded.

By today, April 17, more than 22,240 Obama supporters have contributed in excess of $155,600 to touch more than 32,600 of our children and grandchildren. Only 8600 of Clinton supporters have responded to touch 321 Pennsylvania students by contributing less then $30,000. [donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=18369&zone=0]

Which Senator can lead people to care about one another?
