Since you have a source, my friend—even an anonymous source on deep background—this is NOT a vanity.

THANKS for posting it.

I will just add, anecdotally, that in this red county in North Central Penna, I finally realized something that’s been nagging at me for weeks. There was something odd about the signage.

Local Republican candidates’ lawn signs are inevitably paired with McCain/Palin signs, like 95% of the time. But those folks with local Democrats’ signs have those signs out alone (only being paired with an Obama sign perhaps 15% of the time).

The local Democrats are NOT excited about Obama and by-and-large do not want to be connected with him.

Here in PA-5, I’d wager McCain will get a higher vote percentage than Reagan did...that’s how bad it looks for Hussein here.

I'll totally vouch for Petronski's observation.

Excellent description of what I've seen all over Union and Northumberland counties.
