That is what the Clinton campaign kept telling itself too. |

Sounds like CNN and I are thinking about the same thing. When you say rally in Penn, do you mean actually win? I doubt it. Pollster has it as a strong Obama state, and he is trending upward there. As a matter of fact, give me a few minutes and I will post the trend lines for all the states you mentioned. You are probably not going to like what you see. |

Ok, here are the trends per Pollster as of this afternoon. Now Pollster does their average differently than RCP so the numbers might be a little different, but what I want to to look at is the direction the race is going. The numbers are already bad for McCain, and in every state you mentioned except for Missouri, Obama is trending upward at a steady pace, while McCain is trending downward at a relative pace.

Working on the last 5

Hog, I know the trend line very well so does the Camp. They did two stops today with McCain/Palin on the same stage. McCain was almost begging for support. Last week it was reported McCain pulled out of Michigan for Penn. That is alot of resources in very specfic counties. You would be surprised how down to what precincts one needs to walk and what ones to call and what time to call them. Both sides have the ability to micro-target. Plus McCain has Ridge and even fucked up goofy ass Sen Spector has started working for McCain in Pa. McCain takes PA and that washes with Obama winning VA/CO and still gets us over 270. I think locking up states like NC and FL if we can then allows more people and resources to be put into PA. Is it a hard fight yes but we have overcome before. SC was a tough fight very tough. I was almost arrested in SC. |

Well you know the trend line, but you are obviously good at ignoring them. #1 Everything I have read, even from conservatives, has said that the Obama campaign has a much better ground game. #2 Obama has Rendell and the Casey's in PA. So what is your point? Both sides have high profile people in in each state stumping for them. In the end the surrogates don't matter. As long as the economy stays the main issue Obama is going to keep trending up in those blue collar states. |

this would go against my constitutionalist's views, but sometimes I think it would be nice if only taxpayers chould vote. Of course poor people and college kids are going to vote for the socialist.......it's free money and free education. It is a little unfair when thinking about it. |

By the way BG, do you realize that Penn has been polled by 3 different organizations this week, and the closest one had Obama +12? |

Know who can work a crowd? Gallagher. And I don't want him to be the vice president, either. |

It would be poetic if the PA gun and bible clingers put McCain over the top. |

Pennsylvania is not a winnable state for McCain. Not even sure of the logic of thinking that it is. Polling results on Rasmussen: States leaning democrat, likely democrat, and safe democrat total 300 electoral votes. Safe GOP, likely GOP, and leans GOP total 174. Toss up states total 64. So for McCain to win the election, he'd have to win all 6 toss up states and take an additional 30 electoral votes from states labeled leans democrat. Ain't happening. |
