An interesting nugget in this campaign diary from Sean Higgins over at the American Spectator Online.

I watch all of this from the luxury booth high above the event while eating a chicken breast stuffed with cranberry dressing. It's part of the dinner spread the campaign put out for reporters. The Obama campaign keeps the press shut off from the candidate, mostly. He travels separately from the reporters. We watch his speeches and wait for the occasional press availability. There is virtually no chance to talk to the candidate otherwise. I never hear any reporter complain about this, maybe because the food is good.

As goes the catering, so goes the election?
