Students at Peters Township Middle School in McMurray, Pennsylvania are preparing for their mock election November 4. As swing staters, they have a front row seat to democracy, even though they can't yet legally vote.
While heavy rain disrupted his campaign appearances in the Keystone State yesterday, the McCain campaign is not giving up, believing the blue-in-'04 votes will turn red this year. Sarah Palin will be back in PA tomorrow, but for today she's in Bowling Green and Chillicothe, Ohio, beating the bushes in yet another 2004 swing state, while the top of her ticket holds what's billed as a "Joe the Plumber Rally" in Miami, Florida.
In fact, if Ohio gets any more candidate visits they're probably going to be touting politics as one of the state's many tourist attractions: "Come see the amazing Talking Point Spouter! It's the real Old Faithful!"
That must be why Barack Obama is headed south for today with stops in Sunrise and Kissimmee, Florida. We hear via ?uestlove on Twitter that he nearly had to interrupt a speech in Raleigh after someone in the audience fainted--anyone there want to confirm?
