Reply #18: I live in a blue state too [View All]

However I happen to be an hour from the border of a "swing" state. Nobody ever comes here unless they're going to a fundraiser hosted by Jon Bon Jovi.

I took advantage of that and in the final week of the campaign attended Obama and Biden rallies (the former in the cold, pouring rain). Both of them were completely worth 4 hours of driving for (2 each way).

I just felt bad at the Biden rally because I could not answer his question correctly. My vote did not help him carry PA (though I did spend most of Tuesday campaigning in PA). I really liked that he's such a down to earth guy, and he did not mention anything negative at all about McCain or Palin. I never watched the Sunday morning shows until this year, so I'm unsure as to what he said on them. I got into the elections of 04 and 06, but this was the first one I was majorly involved in (this is coming from someone who voted for a presidential candidate in 2000 because he shares my birthday)

I don't want to clog up this thread with this, but I have a review of the rally (plus a link to my pics) in my blog if you want to see it. http://outspokenliberal.blogspot.com/2008/11/biden-rally-in-allentown-pa.html and my pics are also on the links page on my blog.
