1. I think Casey's popularity and political capital has just been raised with his support of Obama.

They really look great out there on the campaign trail and Casey certainly looks like cabinet material.

[Yael]

8. It has gone WAY up with me.

He was not really a voice we (or maybe just me) heard much. I have seen more from him the last few weeks than when he ran against Santorum in 2006.

He really looked like he was enjoying himself during the bus and train tours he took with Obama.

2. Off-topic, but how many lefties wear their watch on their left wrist? Odd.

[flpoljunkie]

6. Don't know the answer to that. Perhaps he's ambidextrous.

[MoJoWorkin]

7. I am a lefty--wear watch on left wrist---not odd at all.

[flpoljunkie]

9. I am a righty--and wear watch on right wrist.

[Aloha Spirit]

10. Ha okay, well I'm a lefty who sports a right wrist wristwatch, but I'll concede

that there is no defining wrist orientation according to handedness.

BTW AWESOME pictures!
I have fam in Harrisburg, so I keep looking for them.

3. K & R!

5. A President not afraid to love his people

11. I think the train tour was a great idea!!! Thanks for posting this!!

And the best idea of this campaign!!

I just feel that it is going to resonate well with the voters! He pulled in GIANT crowds at the stops and even large crowds at the slow rolls!!

[ORDem]

12. I love traveling by train! Too bad the U.S. has such a lousy system.

At least here in the West. Amtrak has lower priority than freight. Sheesh.

:dem:

[flpoljunkie]

14. We have other priorities in this country--over half discrretionary $ goes to Pentagon

And we are going very deeply in debt to finance George W. Bush's debacle in Iraq.
