Greate stuff from a friend of mine in PA, who is pictured here with Franco Harris!
I am currently on the ground in PA campaigning for Obama. I think I have successfully converted more than 50% of my old neighborhood to Obama voters. Many of them had been Hillary supporters before talking with me.
The press in Beaver County has been weak. There was a rally in Aliquippa on Friday morning with four Steelers include legends Franco Harris and Dwight White. Normally a rally like that would attract hundreds if not thousands of people in the region. But the event was not well advertised and was not mentioned in any local papers, thus we had only approximately 35 people there.
I spent all day yesterday at Carnegie Mellon talking up Obama. The vast majority of people on campus are already supporters, but since many of them are not registered PA voters they will have limited impact. McCain was on campus but I could not get into the room with my Obama materials.
Great stuff.
