A number of people on the thread, including myself, are expressing some doubts about PA. Could you please share your thinking that leads you to conclude W will take it? Of course even if he didn't, and assuming the other assumptions hold up, he would still cruise to a comfortable 299/239 EC victory.
I know a lot of good people working in PA who have the commitment and the drive to see it through. I believe their work and their faith will make a difference because a lot of patriotic blood is coursing through the veins of a lot of people in PA. Can not point to anything more than that.
RE: Pennsylvania:There are definitely more Bush signs than Kerry where I live, but this is the conservative middle of the state. I just called my voter registration in my county a little while ago. Contrary to what I thought, A felon CAN vote in PA as long as he is no longer incarcerated. She said there will be a new law requiring photo ID's for the next election. I told her the Afgani Ink Solution was not a bad idea either.
Anyway she also told me they scrutinize any registrations that come in and throw out ones deemed to be bogus.
I am not sure this stuff encourages or discourages but I still think we are up against slimey Dem voter fraud this election of massive proportions.
Are there not two Republican Senators in PA? What exactly are they doing to help the President? Especially, Arlen "Magic Bullet Theory" Spector. The President backed this man and I have seen him not even lift a finger. He is the worst kind of RINO.
