Breaking news: Barack Obama garners at least two votes
North Side sources say trend may be irreversible; Dish calls race (in ward 25, at least) for the junior Senator from Illinois
Around 8 a.m., two Central North Side residents entered the polling place at the intersection of Buena Vista Street and Sampsonia Way. They subsequently voted.
When they left, the interviewed themselves.
"I voted for Obama," said the one who called himself Mr. Dish.
"Me, too," said Mrs. Dish. "I also voted for the delegates pledged to him."
With that, they loaded their dog, Shirley the Gentle, into the car and Mrs. Dish dropped Mr. Dish off at work.
Upon returning to the neighborhood, Mrs. Dish took a drive up Buena Vista, across Armandale, and down Monterey before returning home. She saw that there were at least eight signs supporting Obama and just one for Hillary Clinton.
Therefore, Dish calls the Pennsylvania primary election for Barack Obama, projecting a 10-to-1 margin of victory.*
*Statistical projections may be rendered invalid and/or profoundly wrong by virtue of an extraordinarily small sample size, wishful thinking, omission of 99.9 percent of the Commonwealth's electors, poor math skills,
and an inadequate breakfast.

I'd say parts of the East End are going for Obama too. From Highland Park to Point Breeze I counted 28 Obama signs and only 7 Clinton. GO OBAMA!!!
