This is a story about pie. Except that it's a little bit like a fish tale. With each retelling, the story gets a bit more dramatic.
Sen. Barack Obama likes pie. Over the last three days of campaigning, it's become clear that he's given a great deal of thought to pie. He's talked about the kinds of pie he likes, about having a pie contest where he'll be a judge, and how pie fits into the larger economic difficulties of our time.
On Thursday afternoon, in Georgetown, Ohio, Obama and Gov. Ted Strickland stopped at a diner for pie. He's been talking about the visit ever since. He waxed on about his pie during a rally in Portsmouth, Ohio that night. He reminisced about it the next morning in Chillicothee and again in Columbus, Ohio. And today, he talked about his stop for pie at four separate stops in neighborhoods across Philadelphia.......But with all that talk of pie, Republicans said Obama forgot to mention that he plans to raise taxes. "Barack Obama offered more pie in the sky rhetoric," noted Tucker Bounds, spokesman for John McCain.
