And the Winner Is...

It's wake up time and yes I'm bleary-eyed.Last night for me, there was a double-header: Obama vs. Mc Cain in the last 2008 debate of the US Presidential Campaign and the Phillies against LA Dodgers. I couldn't decide what to watch since both spectacles occurred around the same broadcast time. Amidst the financial recession on Wall Street,Main Street and around the globe, skills and wits were matched against worthy opponents! Winners emerged: Some 58 % (of debate watchers polled by CNN)gave it to Obama but the resounding applause and cheers went to the Philadelphia Phillies.The Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 to take the National League Pennant (after a 15 year hiatus). Now, they're on to The World Series !
This is great news for the local Philadelphia economy,which is suffering
as much as the Main streets around the globe.It's hard times but the Phillies provided us with much needed relief from the recent doldrums of
harsh world news. Go Phillies !!
