OLD POST: Obama’s in my town (Tuesday, July 22, 2008)

While it may come as no surprise to those in the Heartland, Obama’s on the campaign trail... except he’s out here in ME. Today’s li’l stop at the Citadel in downtown drew some cheers.  People here are pretty happy about this guy... in fact, some thought he had already won the election (“Oh, he hasn’t?  Then who’s he running against?”  Seriously, I can’t make this stuff up!).  Obama gets a lotta press in the States and it’s all folks see over here.  They’re looking forward to the change.
