Deere got your tongue?

Possible gubernatorial candidate Rep. Ray LaHood really needs to lose the John Deere photo in the upper right-hand corner of his site, www.raylahood.com -- given the fact that Deere rival Caterpillar Inc. is actually headquartered in his district and employs thousands of people in the Peoria area alone. There are, after all, better ways of demonstrating your commitment to agriculture than posing with a Deere. Why not show the rolling cornfields, or stand next to a guy in bib overalls and pitchfork or SOMETHING.
