Sitting Room Only for Obama in Green Bay (Not many showed up for rally)

To: mplsconservative

Well right now, PA is purple. The polls this morning (Tues 9/23 on my local news, WPXI-TV, Obama +2...but that is within the margin of error, so they are calling it even).

There are some complications that (IMO) will make PA go for McCain. Our Gov., Ed Rendell was a strong Hillary supporter. He seems lukewarm at best in his campaigning for BHO...yet he was in Philly yesterday for Today Show face time w/Meredith Vierra plugging for Barry. If Rendell is looking ahead to Hillary in 2012, the dead will rest on 11/4 and no 'huge' turnout will occur in Philly.

Also, James Carville describes PA as 'Philadelphia and Pittsburgh w/Alabama in between.' (Alabama being the 'T' of the state). AL will not go BHO...its solid red.

Lastly, Pittsburgh in particular is still really blue collar union. Sorry...but, again, I can't see the average United Steel Worker or United Mine Worker (or pipefitter, et al) going to the polls and voting for Barry (no matter what their Union tells them to do).

Alot see it this way as well...and...

BARRACK OBAMA HATES THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS...HE IS A EAGLES FAN...PASS IT ON!!!

For what it's worth.....McCain's "Country First" slogan is probably resonating more with the citizenry than "Change"...his maverick style, given the current economic problems, may instill a bit more hope than the Obama message....which is unclear and unarticulated.

For all the criticism McCain has endured...he and his staff have positioned themselves pretty well given the unpopularity of the current administration.

Thanks for describing the PA scene. It’s always interesting to me to get a report from on the ground.

I just heard on the radio, that a Quinnipiac poll here in MN has Obama at 47% to McCain’s 45%. I take that as a very good sign. No way McCain should be that close in this blue state. I love it!

BTW, go Vikes! LOL

Don’t spread that around in Green Bay. Obama would be elevated to messiah status er, uh, something like that. :)
