On The Fence In 'Swingtown' - Bush losing Pennsylvania

[dArKeR]

Stephanie Makhoul can't keep as close an eye on politics as she'd like. Her eyes are spoken for. So are her ears, arms, heart – and almost all of her time.

But in this election year, the mother of triplets does her best to keep up with things.

"A month ago, probably yes. I would have said I would have voted for President Bush," Makhoul says.

But a lot's happened in the last month – the prison scandal, more combat deaths. Her husband Eli is still solidly behind the president, but Stephanie has moved to the fence.

"Why aren't they getting out of there? Why isn't this coming more to an end? It just seems to be getting worse," she says.

In the Lehigh Valley, that fence is starting to fill up.

Gymnastics coaches Donna and Bill Strauss were both pretty solidly in the Bush camp a month ago, but now Donna is no longer sure.

1. Link please?

I'd like to know which way the gymnastics vote is going this year.

On edit: I thought those names were familiar--they coach at Parkettes in Allentown.
