Obama/Biden in Beaver Tonight, Biden in Pittsburgh Monday, McCain/Palin in Washington Saturday

I moved out to the sticks two years ago, and since I live between the Beaver and Pittsburgh Obama offices, I went out to Beaver to work today. I figured they needed a few extra hands as Obama/Biden are speaking in the center of Beaver tonight starting at 7:30.

While the tickets are long gone, if you show up, you can probably get close enough to hear the speeches. Third Street which runs through the park will be closed tonight.

Joe Biden is due to march in the Labor Day Parade on Monday.

[[By the way, Lindsay, I really miss all the local Democratic news you sent out four years ago. While I'm on varying Democratic mailing lists, I just get requests for money, not information on where I can volunteer and the like. I'm registered on Obama's site, but there's not a whole lot of info upcoming events that will need volunteers.]]

John McCain and newly-minted VP candidate Sarah Palin are due in Washington tomorrow (not that probably any of us could get within a mile of that particular rally!). Palin is an interesting choice; I figured McCain would have to go far to the right to grab someone to appeal to all those social conservatives. However, since she's a woman, there will be some Republicans who won't vote for her.
