In one, a young woman asks her friend about Mitt Romney. “I don’t know. He’s not as cool. And he’s a Republican,” she responds before deciding that yes, she will go with “Mr. Dependable” over “Mr. Cool.”

For an article printed in the New York Times, this seems pretty hopeful.

Obama may well be cool. But we need a man not a man-child. Cool be damned.

Mr. Romney’s appearance here on Sunday could be a crafty political move to seriously undercut President Obama, or it could be a sign of desperation.

No Slimes, it is not 'a sign of desperation' but confidence. It is however, a sign of the New York Times whining and worry.

“It’s a little tighter than I would have expected,” said Jef Pollock, a pollster for Priorities U.S.A. Action, a Democratic super PAC. “But the question is whether this is just the natural tightening that’s going to happen.”

Oh dear, lacking confidence in public, are we? How do those internals of yours look, Jef?

Forced to respond, the Obama campaign has put more than $1.5 million into an ad campaign here and is planning even more. Democrats are saying that the race is much closer than they would have guessed just a week ago.

Why would the Democrats spend money unless they were really afraid of losing?

I showed that ad to my Canadian wife. One of the things she liked about it was the obviously fake sparkle in Mitt's teeth at the end. To her, that meant they were just having fun, and weren't taking themselves too seriously. The real joke, of course is that Romney is far from dependable and Obama is not cool. Nonetheless, the ads were well done, and may do their job with the target audience: undecided women.

Tom Smith is running for the US Senate in Pennsylvania. He has a chance of beating Casey and I’m praying he does. He comes from the world of coal and farming and made his money in coal. He is not a lawyer. A good man to donate to.

Romney’s coattails can pull Tom Smith over the top!

From the article: Mr. Romney’s appearance here on Sunday could be a crafty political move to seriously undercut President Obama, or it could be a sign of desperation.

Yes.

+ Could be they see PA as more in play

- Could be desperation time and Romney sees need to pre-empt Ohio as the make or break state...

But there is a tangible sense — seen in Romney yard signs on the expansive lawns of homes in the well-heeled suburbs, and heard in the excited voices of Republican mothers who make phone calls to voters in their spare time — that the race is tilting toward Mr. Romney.

Well, Slimes, it isn't just well-heeled suburbs. I live in a working class suburb with the average home price of around $140K, if that. There is one, single solitary jag-off with an Obama sign and scores of us with RR signs in our low-end neighborhood.

Interestingly, the Obama sign is one of the most expensive homes in the neighborhood. We suppose them to be an elitist who works for Fedzilla.

Romney demonstrated in the primaries that he knows how to close.

He does his due diligence, unlike a childish, jug-eared, village communist.

Where will Romney be in PA on Sunday? I would love to go and support him.

LOL. What a joke. The NYT had to put that in there to throw a small bone to its readers to keep them committing suicide out of despair.

later in life, it would be interesting to see how these two end up, one whose preference in men runs to ‘Mr Cool’ and one whose preference in men runs to ‘Mr Dependable’. One will married to a man who is a good father and has his home paid for, the other will be a single mom with three kids from three different ‘Mr Cools’, and dead broke with ruined credit living in a HUD apartment.
