I was getting worried about my home state. Yes, I know, PA is a democratic state but after the insults hurled at PA by it's candidate I wondered why they were still so gung ho to elect him. So I went searching and found this. It's good to know others are more concerned about the country and the well being of it's people than electing Obama simply because he's...well... uh.... democrat.

Democratic group backing McCain opens office in Scranton
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Lynn Forester de Rothschild began supporting McCain back in September, but this is the first time I've heard that Jamie Brazil is serving as National Director of Citizens for McCain/McCain Palin. And now the group is opening an office in Scranton PA with the help of Lady Rothschild:
SCRANTON - A major supporter of Hillary Clinton and member of the Democratic National Committee's Platform Committee, on Monday said the Democratic Party has nominated "the worst candidate" while Republicans have nominated the best.
Lynn Forester de Rothschild helped open the Democrats for McCain headquarters on Main Avenue in West Scranton. About 30 supporters turned out to welcome de Rothschild and speak out for the Republican ticket.
"What it came down to was that I decided I love my country more than my party, de Rothschild said, explaining her support of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin. I'm really worried. I do not want (Obama) in the White House."
De Rothschild, 54, said she sees Northeast Pennsylvania - specifically Luzerne and Lackawanna counties - as the key to winning Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes. And, she said, whoever wins Pennsylvania will likely become the next president.
"Barack Obama has never had the mandate of Democrats," she said. "And Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi ignored the 18 million people that voted for Hillary Clinton. They can't be surprised at the 5 million to 7 million Clinton supporters who are now supporting McCain."
One organization - "PUMA, which stands for Party Unity My Ass " - has more than 5 million members across the country, she said. Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of the Clintons and the Rodham family, is serving as national director of Citizens for McCain. Brazil accompanied de Rothschild on her Scranton visit. (emphasis mine)

Initially I was going to rag you for name calling people, our relatives included. But then I realized that you know as well as I do that we come from a crazy family. So I guess you wouldn't be surprised to find out how many of us are voting for Obama, including those who live in PA!!!
BTW, your blog doesn't seem to come up as "new" on blogroll. Have you noticed any problems with it?
Blog roll! I forgot all about that little feature and updating there. Dang! I'll have ro find that again start signing in there when i update. Would hate to have anyone miss any of my gems :-).
Oh, and BTW...I don't know who in our family is voting for Obama. I know Linda's side are all voting for McCain. Mom isn't voting but is scared of Obama's policies. So that leaves Vinny and who else?
I meant I think there's a problem with blogroll. Have you noticed if anything is updating for you?
And LOL. Mom is doing her own pandering. She told me she wasn't voting but thought Obama had the best policies. And yeah, Vinnie and family were the only ones I was thinking about. I have to admit I wasn't thinking of Linda (assuming she's not voting) and her kids. I'll have to do my own poll of Linda's family. <-; It'll at least get me to call and talk to my family.
