So, one "hero" was flying around in a panic (hope they had enough toilet paper to go along with him!) while the other "hero" went underground and hid there! Why am I not surprised? Both are great war "heroes". What else did you expect, huh?! ROTFL

But a new Quinnipiac poll, out Thursday morning, shows that Mr. Obama’s lead over Mr. McCain in Pennsylvania has shrunk to three percentage points (48-45) from seven percentage points on Aug. 26. (The sampling was taken Sept. 5-9 of 1,001 likely Pennsylvania voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, making the results statistically a dead heat.) Mr. McCain has narrowed the gap in Pennsylvania by wiping out Mr. Obama’s lead among independent voters, said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Mr. Obama still holds a three-point edge “by convincing previously uncommitted Hillary Clinton primary voters and Catholics to move into his camp — the Catholics perhaps because of some help from running mate Joe Biden, a Catholic from Scranton,” Mr. Richards said. Mr. McCain has also gained ground among white women, according to this poll and others, perhaps reflecting a positive reaction to his choice of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his veep. A raucous rally here Tuesday with Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin — what Mr. McCain calls “this team of mavericks” — provided fresh evidence of what Mr. Obama is up against in this state. Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin drew a cheering throng of 7,000 people to the sports center at Franklin & Marshall College, practically a tidal wave compared with Mr. McCain’s once-sleepy audiences (although a bit smaller than an Obama rally nearby a few days earlier). Once they arrived in the arena, Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin spent 10 minutes just working their way through the crowd to the podium as Jerry Goldsmith’s stirring theme music from the football movie “Rudy” washed over them. “Sarah!” they chanted. “Sarah!” In her 14-minute speech, Ms. Palin, wearing a red jacket, black dress and red patent-leather heels, essentially repeated her acceptance speech from the convention, repeating some information about her record that has been disputed. But she highlighted Mr. Obama’s remark about small-town voters. “Here in Pennsylvania,” Ms. Palin said, “we don’t know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they’re listening, and turns around and talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and their guns when they’re not listening.” The crowd booed a mighty boo. The remark struck at the heart of one of Mr. Obama’s weaknesses, the blue-collar, Reagan Democrats who generally favored Mrs. Clinton during the primaries. Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a Democrat who backed Mrs. Clinton in the primary but is now hustling for Mr. Obama, indicated during the conference call Wednesday that these working class voters were still proving elusive to Mr. Obama.
