politics, money, and scarecrows

Maybe it's all scarecrows. But at market this morning I saw all the recent headlines up close. There are the Obama and McCain tables the day after Palin gets embroiled in the brother-in-law cop firing and McCain's rallies get nasty. There's the friendly scarecrow and pumpkin cookies at the bakery stand, signalling the fall season. And across Penn Square, despite the tailspin money markets, Lancaster's biggest building project keeps chugging along.

take time to be a citizen

Hi Obama.

Saturday. A snap decision--thanks to Sarah who said the wait in line is not long--to see Obama at the train station. There's our Pennsylvania Senator Casey beside The Candidate.

The sensitive white guy over 50 thinks, which guilt do I want to assuage--civil rights or women's rights? Well, he's on the wrong track (no railroad pun intended).

Picking a leader is not about guilt.

Obama, three days before the primary, was making a whistle stop tour, Philadelphia to Harrisburg.
