Obama shot back a few moments later to his rival, seated
only a few feet away at a round
table.
“That’s not true,” McCain
retorted.
“It is true,” said Obama,

Grill in Cherry Hill and saw —
on 27 plasma TVs — their Philadelphia Phillies make the World

candidate in New Jersey’s 3rd
Congressional District.
