Gov. Rendell is hitting the road for the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania.

Starting Tuesday, Rendell embarks on a six-day, fifty city tour to rally support for Obama. Democratic voters may have the edge, but Rendell wants to make sure they hit the polls on Nov. 4 with a statewide get-out-the-vote drive. The campaign will post updates, photos and videos on the "Rendell Road to Change" blog: http://pa.barackobama.com/rendelltour

The bus tour begins in Erie tomorrow and ends Monday in Philadelphia.

Former Pennsylvania governor, Tom Ridge, has been criss-crossing the state to fire up voters for John McCain who is expected to seek plenty of face time with voters here in the next week. The Republican nominee is campaigning today in Pottsville and tomorrow in Hershey and Quakertown.

    Fellow Pennsylvanians,vote with your head,not the media propaganda!Stand in line as long as you have to to vote for John McCain.If you have any doubts about Obama's agenda after hearing his response to Joe the Plumber,about speading the wealth around,go to FOXnews.com and search todays news for a Chicago radio broadcast where Obama specifically addresses his support for reparations.He believes change can come about through legislation,and political organizing on the ground.If you put that together with Biden's warnign that it may not be apparent that what they're doing is right,but they'll need us to stand with them in the communities.We may wonder what they're doing but we're supposed to "trust" them.WAKE UP,America,from your hope and change mantra.You don't have to hope fore change,you can elect John McCain and be guaranteed of the right change for America!

    Why is any elected official, permitted to, interrupt the duties of their office,to campaign for another candidate? The state and the City are on the verge, if not in, bankruptcy. There is work to be done for us, the John Does.

    Can someone ask Obama what he means when he refers to the Constitution as "flawed"?

    'the right change for America'? what change has he ever talked about? He has only attacked Obama and covered up his scandals with his 5 years in prison a 100 years ago. There is nothing else he has to offer but a moose shooting cheerleader that has to stay home with her kids if something happens to him. Yes indeed, Americans, think!

    Obama believes in higher taxes for people who work harder to achieve higher goals in their lives. He believes in redistribution of wealth, That is Marxist ideology. Obama’s policies, his rhetoric and some of his militant friends reminds me of the good old USSR. Both Communists and Hitler came to power on a platform of CHANGE. You will soon find out what it is all about! “FROM EACH, ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITIES; TO EACH, ACCORDING TO HIS NEADS.” Karl Marx
