Obama makes breakfast campaign stop in Strip District
As Pennsylvanians headed to the polls this morning to cast their votes in the state's primary, Sen. Barack Obama made one last campaign stop in Pittsburgh, greeting breakfast patrons at Pamela's restaurant in the Strip District.

The Illinois senator was accompanied by his wife, Michelle, Steelers owner Dan Rooney and a crush of photographers and reporters. He entered the restaurant just before 9 a.m. and spent the next 45 minutes shaking hands with patrons and ordering breakfast -- a regular hotcake, which he shared with his wife, orange juice and coffee.

Pam Cohen, one of the eatery's co-owners, said his visit made her decide to vote for Mr. Obama.

"I was waffling, no pun intended," she said. "But now I'm going to vote for him. He's the best thing to come along since JFK."

Thought this a fun headline that Pittsburghers and Obama supports can grin at.
