I am currently with Al Taubenberger and have been following him around since 10 am. A few moments ago, I was standing with his whole family his wife, two daughters and his son. His youngest daughter just turned 18 and in her first vote today, voted for her father.
We started at the corner of Verree and Rhawn Street where Al and his family voted and now we're at the United Methodist Church of the Redeemer Cottman and Lawndale Avenues.
I will be following him until 7:30 tonight when I go back to his headquarters. We are currently headed to South Philadelphia for more Election Day activities. Check back for more later today.
Rachel Falcinelli is a senior broadcasting major at Temple University. Rachel will be talking to Al Taubenberger and find out why some people are voting for him. Rachel will talk to Al about the whether the Republican party can gain any traction in Philadelphia since there has not been a republican mayor in about 50 years. She will be with him day and night to and give readers a sense of what its like to hand out in an underdog candidate’s campaign.

(added by Dan: Since Rachel will be on the road with Al throughout the day, spending a good deal of time in the car with his entourage, she'll be phoning in her reports and I'll be transcribing them as accurately and as quickly as I can.)

I am very proud of my father... he is out on the streets of Philly working very hard.
