In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...

What do they all have in common?
This....
Another new “logo” for Barack Obama….
This time originating in Pennsylvania and being released in select towns across the state today.
It stems from this...
Obama Wisconsin Radio Ad Attacks McCain Over Harley QuipThe Obama Team in Pennsylvania wants to have some fun with John McCain and his "I’d rather hear the roar of "50,000 Harleys" than the cheering of “200,000 Berliners.”
"As the Obama camp was quick to point out, McCain opposed legislation that would have forced the U.S. government to buy American-made motorcycles.
The Obama camp's push on the issue includes running [the recent ad], which was running in the York market and mocks McCain's Harley quote while pointing out McCain's position on American-made bikes, in two new markets in Pennsylvania beginning tomorrow -- the Pittsburgh and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre markets.
Obama's Pennsylvania campaign, the aide says, will be hitting the ground this weekend in around five towns around the state with stickers and flyers bearing the above "Buy American, Vote Obama" logo.
The events will feature a few dozen actual Harley riders for Obama that have been recruited for the weekend's events."Harley riders aren't typically supportive of Democratic candidates," the aide says.
"But we're making a play for them by saying that Obama's economic policies are the true patriotic ones."
If "Buy American, Vote Obama" catches on, it could conceivably be unveiled in other battlegrounds.
It's yet another sign of the Obama camp's efforts to turn the attacks on his patriotism on their head by arguing that McCain is the one who's anti-American-worker. Such arguments have had mixed success, but with the economy topping the list of voter concerns, it's possible that they will land on fertile ground in the struggling industrial battleground states."

I'm sure it won't be long before we see that sticker popping up in Wisconsin.
Obama is going to get his platform messed up. He won't know if he's coming or going.
A man for all seasons...
Sticker shock.
Speaking of stickers...
Have you ever noticed how many Bush/Cheney stickers you still see on cars after all these years?
I think I see more of those than I do Obama stickers.
