Try To Imagine Dirty Dick Doing This

From the Associated Press:

The candidates, along with U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., spent about 15 minutes shaking hands, posing for pictures and signing autographs in Manny's Coffee Shop & and Deli, just south of the city's downtown business district.

None of the three took questions, but they made their way around the room, listening as diners talked about their concerns.

A number of times, Edwards and Obama, a state senator who represents Chicago's South Side, together talked with people in the cafeteria-style restaurant that for decades has been a favorite spot for working people, police officers, businessmen and retirees and local politicians.

Paul Weber, a 37-year-old plumber, told Edwards that many people he knows are losing their jobs and that the situation is bleak for the working class.

Edwards replied that the country needs a president with a plan to keep jobs in the United States, someone who will stop giving tax breaks to companies that outsource jobs and who is committed to bringing jobs back to the communities that have lost them.
