Obama traded in his dark suit for jeans and sneakers to appear at an outdoor rally in nearly horizontal driving rain and temperature in the 30's. The 9,000 who showed up were treated to my favorite quote of the day: "John McCain has ridden shotgun as George Bush has driven our economy toward a cliff, and now he wants to take the wheel and step on the gas."
John McCain, down 10 points in PA, which he considers a key state, canceled his rally due to similar weather conditions(probably not a bad idea, given his advanced age).

McCain held his rally indoors at the Giant Center in Hershey. I noticed while watching the local news at noon that Obama and his supporters rallied in the rain. It's been very windy here, too.

It's distressing to even entertain the thought that a person of his advanced age and diminishing mental capacity would be elected to hold the reins of the most powerful country in the world. His performance on Meet the Press should have been enough to convince the undecideds.

Whitman said she and McCain share a philosophy of scaling back the role of government. a point of view partly shaped by her EBay experience. "The EBay model is very Republican in its essence -- it's about making a small number of rules and getting out of the way while not overtaxing the community," she said.

I'm sorry, but the fact that McCain cannot endure the cold and wet of campaigning in a "hail Mary" state speaks volumes. McCain knows he cannot win. He is throwing in the towel.
