Thursday Week 3

Well, the presence of Air Force One meant that the airfield was shut down all day, so it was a slow day. Apparently Washington is a key marginal in the US Senate elections; despite what is said on TV, Patty Murray has a 8 point lead. Obama spent the day at the 3 universities trying to rustle up the students; apparently is the youth turn out is high then the Democrats are safe. Interestingly both candidates are emphasising how they are pro-Boeing jobs and will "give Airbus hell".
