Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 10:48 AM by gabeana
The (Allentown, Pa.) Morning Call endorses OBAMA: "Past experience like hers is one thing, but leadership also depends on having a vision, plans to pursue that vision, and an ability to inspire others to follow."

got this from politico

1. I think it is an important endorsement.
The Morning Call is a widely circulated paper in Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and surrounding small towns.

Clinton has an edge in the district. Nice to get the endorsement.

8. I am shocked! SHOCKED! Incredible!
This little rust-belt city,
the Queen City, down on her heels,
trying to keep it up...
perfect HIllary turf, as I've said before...

BUT
I've seen the signs..
literally, many many Obama signs
in front of row homes, and front lawn
of the blue collar neighborhoods....

I've talk to people..
and something changing,
and something's coming...

Of all things...
this little newspaper that outsources everything..
and they endorse... Barack?
Will wonders ever cease?

9. Allentown - courtesy of Billy Joel
Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we're living here in Allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay
Well we're waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel
And we're waiting here in Allentown
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
Every child has a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our place
Well I'm living here in Allentown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in Allentown
