Enough sodas are sold at the huge shopping complex each year to fill five Olympic-size pools. Meanwhile, Bryan Lentz, the Democratic candidate for this open seat, was preparing to engage in some retail politics, first by addressing voters on the economy in nearby Wayne, and then by speaking to supporters at a house event in Ridley Park. This is the affluent commuter belt of Delaware County, south-west of Philadelphia. The district’s median household income, at $70,800, is a third higher than the national figure, and the colonial-style houses on the tree-shaded roads around Wayne sit on plots of land that can be measured in acres, not square feet. <p>Yet a sizeable chunk of the district is made up of blue-collar neighbourhoods, with terraced houses lining the streets near the oil refineries and heavy industry that fringe the Delaware river. Boeing is one of the biggest employers, making helicopters for the army. The county boomed after the second world war as (mostly) white residents from Philadelphia moved to the suburbs. They have not been protected from the downturn; Delaware County’s unemployment rate has shot to over 9%. ... </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://economist.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">economist.com</a> - 2010-07-29 16:47:03 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/economist/full_print_edition/~3/z13VjvJFkeQ/displaystory.cfm" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Thailand\'s state of emergency: Politics as unusual</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> <p>A vote in the capital, despite a state of emergency <p>A PARLIAMENTARY by-election in Bangkok on July 25th was the first test of public opinion since May, when the army put down street protests in which 89 people died. The opposition Pua Thai party made the most of it, picking a jailed “red shirt” leader, Korkaew Pikulthong, as its candidate, and calling for justice for victims of the crackdown. Campaigning from behind bars, he drew a substantial 43% of the votes. And although he was beaten by the candidate of the ruling Democrat Party, the jailbird’s performance shows that the red shirts are not squashed yet. <p>Voting went smoothly but, as the ballots were being counted, a bomb exploded at a bus stop in a central shopping district. Eight people were injured and one died. The explosion was near the site of May’s bloody showdown between security forces and the red shirts. Security officials blamed the attack on “ill-intentioned people”, code for red-shirt militants, who were accused of a series of explosions in March and April. ... </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://economist.com" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">economist.com</a> - 2010-07-29 16:47:03 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/07/29/128844113/commanders-have-ignored-major-mental-health-issues-army-report-concludes?ft=1&amp;f=1001" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >Commanders Have Ignored Major Mental Health Issues, Army Report Concludes</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> Defense officials say commanders on the ground don\'t have the training to make suicide prevention a priority - or to recognize the signs of a soldier on the brink. </div> <div style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;"> <a href="http://npr.org" target="_blank" style="font-size : 1em; color : inherit;">npr.org</a> - 2010-07-29 16:30:18 GMT </div> </li> <li style="margin-bottom : 4px;"> <div style=""> <a href="http://feeds.abcnews.com/click.phdo?i=30aec2561dab7f7abd6a269db6fcace1" target="_blank" style="font-weight : bold; font-size : 1em; color : inherit;" >U.S. Army Stressed After Nearly a Decade of War</a> </div> <div style="margin : 2px 0px; font-size : inherit ; color : inherit;"> The number of soldier suicides and the use of prescription drugs are skyrocketing.
