Breaking: Here’s what we know about Pennsylvania right now(Good on the ground news)
Hillbuzz ^ | 28OCT2008 | Hillbuzz

Tonight we spoke with a friend from Hillary Clinton’s campaign who is now working for McCain/Palin — and is specifically working with Democrats for McCain in Pennsylvania. We worked with her in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania for Hillary and have spent many LONG hours with her in the trenches in all of those states. She’s smart, doesn’t BS, and never lies.

She says the same thing we do: John McCain will win Pennsylvania.

On November 4th, the news networks are going to be spinning and sputtering and playing catchup, but everything we see on the ground in PA is what we saw during the primaries: Obama has no shot of winning the Keystone State.

Here is specifically what we talked about tonight: never in any of our careers have any of us ever seen members of one party switching sides and voting for the other party as we see in this election with Democrats for McCain. There has never been anything like it. Not even the “Reagan Democrats” who voted for Reagan over Carter, for the simple fact that these “Reagan Democrats” weren’t identified and labeled until AFTER the election.

No, Democrats for McCain are real, are voting for McCain right now, and are open and organized, as well as self-identifying. Lynn Rothschild might be our poster gal, as one of the most prominent of our ranks, but it’s telling that everyone from Team Hillary that we know now works for McCain. ALL OF US. Whether they are open about it, like we are, or are working quietly behind the scenes, we can’t think of a single person we worked with on a daily basis for Hillary who is now working on behalf of Obama.

Actually — that last statement of inaccurate. If McCain wins PA, Obama cannot win without Ohio or Florida. He wouldn’t be able to manufacture a win with just Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Virginia.

This is where I was inaccurate ... if Obama wins Ohio or Florida, and loses PA, he doesn’t necessarily have to win all four of Co, NV, NM and VA.

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

There is a "Democrat for McCain" sign not too far down the road from my home. IN MASSACHUSETTS. In this part of MA, McCain signs outnumber Obama signs by 4 to 1, easy. It's totally different than the situation in 2004.

Now I'm not saying McCain will win MA, but I'll wager it will be much closer than anyone expects.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OUT AND VOTE, no matter what state you live in.

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

Yes, if Mac takes OH, FL, and PA, he could lose CO, VA, AND IA and NH and still win (274 electoral votes).
