I think this jives with what LS has been hearing, too.

If McCain outperforms Bush in Ohio, I can understand the campaign's emphasis on Pennsylvania. Kerry only carried PA by 3.5% in 2004.

Kerry only carried PA by 3.5% in 2004.

Actually, it was 2.5%.

Pennsylvania would have to be nuts to vote Obama, especially since he's vowed to shut down the steel industry, collateral damage resulting from Obama's coal policy.

This just shows that Obama is dumb as a brick, and thinks coal is only used in old primitive coal generating stations. High carbon content coal is vital for making steel.

With that threat hanging over Pennsylvania, it's a wonder Obama isn't polling 10 points behind McCain.
Then again, they are a highly union brainwashed state, and we all know how unions always have the best interests of it's members in mind....

Kerry carried PA by 3.5% in 2004 and Kerry never called PA residents “racists”, “rednecks” and “bitter clingers.”

I think NRA members are also worth +1 to +2% more because many will think Obama is a real threat versus Kerry.

Missouri needs attention...badly...I can dig the effort in PA, but without MO McPalin will need to pull a rabbit out of a hat to win.
