What are you guys seeing on the ground in PA or whereever you are. One theme I'm notincing is that there aren't as many Kerry signs as 2004 and that a lot of Dems are voting for M/P. HOw many people do you guys know that are Dems and are voting M/P? Thanks and have a great day :-)

[SnakeDoctor]

If this is true, McCain will win. My guess is that we’ll hold Ohio and Florida, and maybe Colorado. If we take PA, its over.

She worked for Hillary Clinton and she never lies?

Yeah right.

I spend 7 days a week in a local GOP HQ in Virginia working for the campaign. That said, I do not believe these HILLBUZZ people one bit. All they show is is anecdotal evidence based on hearsay.

I know they packed the Giant Center in Hershey this morning. People stood in the rain for almost an hour waiting to get in the doors. It was a very exciting rally.

I see more than a few “Democrats for McCain/Palin” yardsigns here in PA. YARD signs, which is a pretty personal announcement!

[Sgt_Schultze]

If McCain pulls this off and the democrat party accuses McCain voters of racism, let’s hope they lose them forever.

Read the site and the archives, they do not want him to win. They want her to run in 2012.

Earlier thread.

Very personal and more than most people are willing to do in this cycle due to fear of reprisal.

Mac might lose CO and VA but keep OH, FL, and take PENN. If so, can he win?

[RetiredArmy]

Is this the 4th time this has appeared in some form or the other? This is the same Hillary thing again. Posted yesterday somewhere here under another name I believe.

[Retired Greyhound]

yes

[Bush Revolution]

If it has, I just saw it posted this morning on their site. I know they do one of these articles at least once a week. Sorry, if it has been posted.

[Bush Revolution]

Thanks, sorry about that.

I can only speak from what I see in my Philly suburb, West Chester.

As far as signs go, there aren't nearly as many for BHO as there were for Kerry in 2004, but there are at least as many for M/P as there were for W. I've also noticed many houses (maybe 20%) have signs for DEM nominees in local, state and federal gov't, but no sign for POTUS. (hmmm...)

Another phenomenon I've noticed is that there weren't any signs in my neighborhood at all for the longest time. Then a month ago a few lefties put up some BHO signs, and a week later the houses surounding theirs had put up M/P signs.

I elected to put up a homemade sign, consisting simply of "SOCIALISM" in large bold with the international "not" symbol superimposed.

[SnakeDoctor]

Yes. The 2004 election was as follows ...

Bush — 286 Electoral Votes
Kerry — 251 Electoral Votes

Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Virginia have a combined 37 Electoral votes. Pennsylvania has 21 Electoral Votes.

If Obama wins all four of those, but loses PA (all other states remaining the same as 2004) — the election looks like this ...

McCain — 272
Obama — 267

Word is, McCain may win New Hampshire (4). And, there’s a solid chance of him holding Colorado (9) or Virginia (13).

Basically, the whole elections rides on PA. If Mac can take PA, the whole map changes, and Obama MUST win (1) ALL of Colorado, Virginia, New Mexico and Nevada AND (2) either Ohio or Florida.

This can't be true.

NPR can only find those hoping that the slick talking "One" will, ah, fix, ah, everything.

The man does have a talent for making what would otherwise shocking or ludicrous, sound reasonable. This, in spite all the clear examples of the resounding failures such policies as 0bama purposes inexorably produce.

I am heartened that to think Pennsylvania might not fall to the socialist. If this does occur, then maybe all those mouth-breathing rednecks (everbuddy knows PA is just chock-a-block full of 'em) are smarter than their collective bad breath would lead one to assume.

If they can dump Murtha too, then maybe we can move away from the pork-barreling, you-support-my-earmark-and-I'll- allow-yours, type of legislative format.

That sort of "law-making" stinks worse than all the armpits of all the hillbillies in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Tennessee combined.

[Dick Holmes]

She worked for Hillary Clinton and she never lies? .....Yeah right.

LOL.

I don't think "hillbuzz" is a liar, but she might be having a Bosnia sniper-fire moment here:

The same people who ran the board for us in the primary — who assured us daily that the polls the media was pushing were wrong in claiming Obama would beat Clinton in PA — tell us on a daily basis that McCain is going to win Pennsylvania. There’s a damn good chance this won’t even be close, if what people are seeing on the ground right now holds, and is indicative of the whole state.

Um, that's not the way it was. As you can see, polls showing BHO ahead in the PA primary were very few and far between (3 out of 77, and 1 tie!)

I live and work in Lower Bucks.All the McCain Palin signs were stolen on the main street, we still have ours.There were only 2 Obama signs and all the rest were for McCain.I talked to someone in south west Philly and all the signs are Obama.Where I work everyone is voting McCain except the blacks and even some of them are voting McCain.All the Hillary voters are voting McCain except 4 woman and 1 man.That's from about 50 people that I have asked.Also 1 Obama voter is changing her mind because her son told her Obama was scary.
