John McCain just wrapped up a campaign appearance at the Down Home Diner in the Reading Terminal Market, where he and wife Cindy had lunch with seven women from the region and talked about the economy. Barack Obama supporters rallied just feet away in the market, shouting throughout much of the meal.
But Diner Co-Owner Jack McDavid said he was happy to host the GOP presidential candidate.
"He asked to come here," said McDavid, a registered Democrat who voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary. "I trust John McCain. I don't agree with all of his policies, but I trust him. I'm not brave enough to take a chance on someone who has no track record."
Even through the McCain table ordered some Diner food -- like pie and burgers -- McCain specially asked for a doggie bag.
"He made a special request for two Rick's cheesesteaks to go," McDavid said. "With hot peppers."

Did Cindy have her steak served on fine china?

Ricks should not be allowed to call there steaks "Philly"
Nope. She ate if off your plate before some low class Obama supporter could steal it. Vote McCain '08.
I wonder how Cindy the drug abuser liked slumming it with regular people. Todd and Sarah Palin for King and Queen of Soviet Alaska.
When does Rick leave?
longshanks, before you throw stones, look in the mirror. are you perfect, and never, ever made mistakes? get real dude, sounds like your jealous
What is a "there steak"? Is it different from a "here steak", or maybe an "everywhere steak"??
LISAH, first off, I'll throw stones all I want, Republicans have made a profession out of it. Secondly, I can tell you one thing, I never committed a felony drug crime by using the names of my co-workers and direct reports to steal drug prescriptions from my own non-profit. Your sound delusional and confused.

Bets they threw them out the window on theier way to an expensive resturant
What longshanks didn't tell us was that he was actually there...he had to bus the table after John and Cindy ate.
Hey Shanks...did they tip ya? Or did those nasty old Republicans just tell you not to smoke in bed.
Hey gang...have you noticed that the further the Messiah falls behind in the polls, the nastier Shanks gets? Obama falls any further behind, and they may have to shrink-wrap him to a bridge abutment.
Like Lipstick on a pig.
Boy the Nobama camp is really nervous!! Way to go there Democrats...or is it Commies?
