Rendell wants Obama to come back to Pennsylvania.

(CNN) — Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has sent two separate memos to the Obama campaign in the past five days requesting that the Democratic Presidential candidate—as well as Hillary and Bill Clinton—return to campaign in Pennsylvania, Rendell told CNN's Gloria Borger.

Rendell said the McCain campaign is clearly making a push to win Pennsylvania, given the recent visits by the Arizona senator, his wife and his running mate. As a result, he wants Obama to appear in western Pennsylvania, Harrisburg and one more “large rally” in Philadelphia. Democrats generally worry that the race is significantly closer than what recent polls have suggested. According to Rendell, there is also worry among Democrats the McCain campaign has successfully raised the enthusiasm level among Republicans in the state.

..Rendell is saying that tongue in cheek. IMO he won’t hardly lift a finger for Obama—remember what a big Hillary supporter he is...

I could care less if Rendell is worried. Rendell is what Obama will be for the country. There is more tax in PA than anywhere else in the country as far as I know.

All one has to do is ignore all the polls, and look back logically from the primary campaign. Hillary killed Barry in PA and OH. You MUST ask yourself this question: what has Barack Obama done to ingratiate himself with those voters in the last few months??? Yeah, I thought so. Your silence is deafening.

Ping this to catowner.

More evidence of media/dem psy ops against you. The true is, if we show up, we win. America hasn’t bought the messianic, hyped, lie.

Just look at the W movie. With how many commercials ran for that movie, if american’s really hated repub’s and bush, it should’ve broken records right?

Instead it opens in 4th place and brings in $10 mil, which is nothing in terms of movie viewership.

Isn’t it amazing all the users who are “concerned” whenever a bad media poll comes out, but not the least bit worried when a Rat who probably knows PA better than any idiot pollster IS worried.

Wow, you must miss a lot of points. This one sure sailed right over your head.

Anywho...you might want to look into NY or CA if you’re really looking to pay the highest taxes in the country.

Fauxbama will not win PA..

McCain was here tonight, in Pitt, he’ll be back on Thurs in Beaver... Rally’s are huge, base is motivated. Fauxbama never got the hillary voters fully behind him, state and union machines aren’t getting it done. Fauxbama will lose PA, take it to the bank.

I think there is something bad wrong with these polls and that Obama is in bad trouble but his campaign advisors and staff members refuse to recognize it.
************************************************
One thing the pollsters do that doesn’t seem right is that they keep working the same households over and over instead of sampling random numbers from the phone book.. makes their job easier if they know they can easily get 1000 people more-or-less on the phone in a single overnight period..

"The latest CNN poll of polls in Pennsylvania suggests Obama hold a 13 point lead over McCain there. CNN currently considers the state leaning Obama."

Does anybody else find this amusing?

**************************************************
In 2000 and 2004 weren’t the polls kept open late in Filthadelphia to get the vote totals the Rats needed? In 2004 wasn’t the voter turnout between 105 and 110%?

We need GOP lawyers on standby to insist that polls in our counties stay open until the Rat counties close.

It doesn’t matter... with all the fraud out of Philly, that happens every year, Dems have been losing their grip on PA... and that’s when they have a candidate with the state machine working full tilt for and have their base solid... they have NEITHER thist time.. Fauxbama will not win PA.

PA was lost the minute Fauxbama became the democratic candidate, its really no more complicated than that.
