| Sounds like Plugz is getting lonely. A taste: His plane, a blue chartered 737, now crosses the country with about three-quarters of its seats empty, rows and rows with nary a warm body to be found. Biden's supporters maintain that he is connecting with voters and garnering positive media interest on a local level. They also say that Biden is a "governing" pick, not a "political" pick, unlike Palin. That is, Biden will actually be able to help Obama govern; he's not just a cynical selection to help his boss win the election. Either way, as Air Joe flew from Wilmington to Charlotte Sunday, the only reporters onboard were off-air reporters from the five television networks and correspondents from NBC and Politico. There was only one camera crew. The back of the plane, reserved for press, sat totally deserted. The New York Times? Gone. The Washington Post? Not seen since the first days of September. The otherwise ubiquitous Associated Press? Left even before that. And when the senator spent two straight down days at his Delaware home this weekend, the press corps dwindled further, with some members bolting the "small wonder" state altogether, leaving Wilmington a media ghost town. On Saturday, only four reporters were around to cover any Biden action. Not that there was any. LOL. A 737 three quarters empty? How efficient and global warmingish |

| #4 SB: That An-2 is a thing of beauty, for its purpose. Nice links. Or he could try for the Alaska bush pilot vote with a DeHavilland Beaver float plane( the original radial engined job, the the turbine refit). |

| #2 Biden's supporters ... also say that Biden is a "governing" pick, not a "political" pick, unlike Palin. That is, Biden will actually be able to help Obama govern; he's not just a cynical selection to help his boss win the election. I know you 'Burgers get it but, man oh man, the MSM and other Leftists really don't understand that our excitement over Gov. Palin is because of the way she has governed in the past. And that we are hoping she will continue to govern in the future. |

| #1 That plane has what....around 130 seats, depending on the configuration? So he's hauling around an "entourage" of 40 or so? Maybe he should consider a nice little Bombardier or even an Embraer for longer trips. But I think he'd really get "bang for the buck" with this little beauty..... ;) |
