The day's symbolic stump achievement by Barack Obama was his decision to withstand the same Pennsylvania storm that had delayed the Phillies' World Series contest: "Call it 40 with a stiff wind that made it feel like 33. Add in a cloudburst or two and the outdoor rally for some 9,000 people outside Philadelphia turned into a test of will Barack Obama could not resist," narrated NBC's Lee Cowan. "When times are tough, when it is cold, when it is rainy, when it is hard, that is when we stand up," the candidate exhorted. NBC even had Tetiana Anderson of its sibling network The Weather Channel give us details of the storm. ABC's Jake Tapper (at the tail of the Claiborne videostream) commented that this was a rare occasion on which Obama was "playing defense" in a state John Kerry won in 2004. "Obama will be making this attack as he proceeds through red states"--Va, NC, Fla, Mo, Iowa, Ind, Nev, Colo, Ohio.
