My last post—sorry for the typo, I meant NEEDS to win.
I guess we could all use good news-I’ve lived in the Philly suburbs for 5 years-moved here for work. The 1st 2 yrs I lived in Swarthmore-nice town HUGE liberal area, affluent, 120% white. home of Swarthmore College-lib central: 2,000 students (smaller than my HS in Cleveland) 45K a year tuition...Very Dem town-very. I joined the Swarthmore GOP, and everyone jokes about secret handshakes, clandestine meetings, etc.
Yesterday, I spent the day in NYC-I now live a couple miles from Swarthmore. I drove there, parked, took the local rail into Philly, and Amtraked it to NY.
My route took me the length of Park St. in Swarthmore-1.5 miles lined w/ houses $300 400 500K and up-In 2004 when I lived there, that st. had 15-20 homes w/ Kerry/Edwards signs-some of the idiots left them up through the following January.Yesterday, the first house on the street had a McCain sign !
I decided to count the signs-there were 5 Obumble and 2 McCain-in fact there were about 10 Sestak signs (our local lame-o Congresscritter)most of those didn’t have an Obama sign. I was amazed that Obama didn’t have more signs. On the way home last night, I went back a different way, still in Swarthmore. 2 more Obumble signs-and 2 more McCain! total- I saw 7 Obama and 4 McCain signs. Not scientific, but-if THESE folks are lukewarm (or worse)on O, maybe we have something. I pray we do.
