I've got a feeling about Pennsylvania. Tom Ridge was a very popular governor there.

I've got a feeling about Pennsylvania.

So do I. Not something I've thought about a whole lot, just a gut feeling.

Just imagine the faces at CNN if PA went for Bush in an upset.

But honestly, what Bush has to aim for is, in addition to holding just about all of "his" states, he has to go for the Florida-Ohio-Pennsylvania trifecta. If he has those states early on election night, he's got it in the bag.

Yes, but not as popular as the current Democrat governor, Rendell. And as a product of the Philly machine, Ed knows how to guarantee over 100% turnout in the right precincts. His big tax hike for next year hasn't really hit home yet, and he is getting more play for being pro-environment than pro-taxes.

Pennsylvania is also a rust-belt state that is upset over the loss of manufacturing jobs over the last few years. Barring a big employment turn-around in that sector(which may happen, see todays good news in that area), the state is probably leaning more against Bush than it was in 2000.
