Confidential To John McFail: The Reaction Will Always Be Different In Philadelphia
From an AP piece on how Sarah C-Word and McFail are the world’s biggest hypocrites on this earmark stuff:
Judging by shouts from the crowd, the enthusiasm seemed driven primarily by the presence of Palin. She has electrified both McCain’s campaign and the party since he announced her as his running mate almost two weeks ago.
The reaction was significantly different in Philadelphia.
McCain made a solo trip for a roundtable discussion with half a dozen female business leaders at the Down Home Diner. The appearance, inside a bustling indoor downtown marketplace, formed a sharp contrast with the earlier joint show, as the arrival of both McCain’s bus outside and him inside was greeted by loud Obama crowds.
The Republican could barely be heard over the Obama cheers by the women he met, or by reporters when McCain made a statement after.
“Pennsylvania is a battleground state, as we can tell,” he said with a small smile.
And by “small smile,” they mean this. I love you, Philadelphia, and I love that the Down Home Diner is now a political frontline. Another order of fried pickles, please!

Can we please not do the politician portmanteau thing? It only encourages the Republicans to come up with names like Obambi, and really the entire practice makes me want to eat a bullet.

Oh, so that’s what that clump of 30 people were doing in my way when I was going back to work having picked up from OCC, never mind the cute stunt of blocking all the doors onto Filbert from RTM. Lame.
