we are down to the wire and its hot up in here!  McCain has gotten desperate.  Between him and Pailin they have been in SE PA a lot lately……..but it aint going to work!  i see folks talking about voting on tuesday.  my daughter didnt receive her absentee ballot and she was hot!  We fixed that problem but I wonder who else had that problem. 

The Phillies parade drew a lot of visitors to center city and someone commented on the fact that few wore political garb or donned any buttons.  well i guess they were focused on the Phillies…..

We have so many volunteers we dont know what to do!  That should be a problem!  imagine that!  voter protection is important and hanky panky wont be tolerated…

If you observe or experience any problem at your polling site anywhere in the US  dial 1 866 OUR VOTE! 

Its general concencus that Obama wins in PA!
