"When was the last time a presidential candidate campaigned from a train? Betty Flocken, 91, remembered seeing Wendell Wilkie roll into Lancaster, and she had heard him speak. Mrs. Flocken turned out for Senator Obama, as indeed did thousands of other Pennsylvanians."
                           --Mayhill Fowler in the Huffington Post 

That's my gramma!  And she says that Obama is the first presidential candidate she'd be willing to "go to bat for" since Adlai Stevenson.

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE, all you Pennsylvanians!  I voted three weeks ago, but they probably won't count mine.
