Dems 4 McCain

The Straight Talk Express came to Philadelphia today, and I was there with my family (and neighbor).

After an introduction by Pa GOP Deputy Chair Renee Amoore and Cindy McCain, the Senator gave a brief stump speech, and then turned it over to a town hall style Q&A that he excels at.

Questions ranged from malaria treatments in Africa, to inner city crime to budget policy and unfunded mandates.

Rather notably, he was asked about opening ANWR. The questioner was roundly applauded at the mention of it... (myself included).... and continued through the rest of the question. He replied with his drilling in the Grand Canyon / Everglades comparison, but stressed that drilling off shore was not off-limits.

Picture below includes my neighbor (and fellow GOP committeeman) Matt Tucholke at top right.

Here's some video via FoxNews with me (pink shirt) and my family (curly blonde girl & wife in blue shirt) in the background.
