Penn. IS a battleground state and has 20 electoral votes. It is not red for Rs, and not blue for Ds, it's yellow making it a battleground state.

They called 500 likely voters.

Not really. Last Repub to take it was HW Bush in 88. It's the GOP's big tease. It's not solid blue like New York or California, but it is definitely a safe/lean Dem state in a presidential race. Not a pure swing state like Florida or Ohio.

It's Rassmussen. The methodology is not questionable. 500 likely voters is only 1.4 times less accurate than 1000 likely voters for a pollster with a good "likely" formula, which he has. It's MOE is about 4.5% vs. 3% for 1000. Even with a statistically unlikely refusal rate by Republicans, it can't be better than about -6 for Romney.

Barring some earth shattering development, PA is a waste of time for the Republicans in Presidential years.
