Interesting to note that lots of candidates didn't want to identify their party affiliation, particularily the democrats and the union supporters (read Jason Allen). Dan Beneshik wasn't there, but he had a big sign and supporters that clearly identified him as a Republican. None of the gubernatorial candidates were there or represented. This is a fairly large parade in a county that should be able to be taken back from the Maobama supporters this time out too.

The commu....er, uh Democrat Party was there with a float with a larger than lifesize picture of the messiah sans styrofoam columns(is there any other kind of such picture?). I didn't see too many takers for the crap they were handing out other than a few backward baseball hate knuckle draggers in my immediate vicinity. Strictly unscientific, but encouraging none the less.
