Obama is really working the I-4 Corridor.

Good for him. It is said to be an important microcosm...."I-4 is a little bit of South Florida, a little bit of North Florida, a little bit of Yankee transplants, and a little bit of old South rednecks," said Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker. ``It may be the best microcosm of Florida."

1. Love the targeted strategy, mad..Florida is

back in business.

Wonder if it gets tense on the set of CSI NY with Harper Hill and gary sinese(mccain booster upper)?

4. Not On CSI, But Adam Sandler Is Another Weirdo... Repuke! n/t

6. Yeah, Harper Hill and gary sinese who

attended a fundraiser for john mccain are both on CSI New York. I know poor adam sandler..anyone who supports mccain isn't paying attention.

7. I think Adam Sandler was only supporting Giuliani.

I have not seen any evidence he backs McCain.

3. Harper went to Harvard with Obama. Did not realize that.

"Hill Harper, co-star of the television show CSI:New York, and long time friend of Barack Obama was in Kennett Friday at the Democratic Headquarters for the Obama for President Rally.
Greeted by Obama supporters, Harper discussed the importance of registering to vote and voting in the upcoming election.

Harper had this to say, "I happen to be a former classmate of Senator Barack Obama, he and I went to Harvard Law School together, and were classmates there. I have been friends with Senator Obama for 20 years now."

"In it, she suggests that grandkids use threats if necessary. "If they vote for Barack Obama, they're going to get another visit this year," she says. "If not, let's just hope they stay healthy until next year."

"And Bubbe, Alaska officials ruled that Palin's a liar. Remember what you taught me about lies?"
