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.

Chet that looks about right. I still think McCain wins VA and CO and possibly WS or MN.
If Jewish voters view Obama as a threat to Israel, which he IS, we could possibly also pick up NJ.
Iowa is also not out of the question.
Union guys in Steelerland are NOT going to put up McCain signs. The shop steward might drive by. If they are smart they need to be thinking about the union in another way.
If Obama wins - ACORN will want favors as will SEIU (the illegal alien “svc” union). Those union leadership and rank & file jobs look pretty attractive and ACORN will fill a lot of those jobs. White union members if they are smart will in the privacy of the polling booth vote McCain. It could save them their job.
Another reason why it might save their job. Barrack & Joe do not like coal and have many debts to repay to the Greens in CA and their Saudi money men.
Volunteer and donate. GOTV this weekend everybody. Get to a McCain office to help.
Yes, McCain is back in Colorado on Friday.
And Palin will be on 'Focus on the Family,' radio with James Dobson on Wednesday.
My business travels around the tri-state area, for my plant's heavy machinery deliveries, shows me and my delivery crew, that the suburbs/rural areas are 95% for McCain-Palin, and that the inner-city slums/hellholes are solidly for Obama-Biden. This is purely-based upon "lawn signs", which we see and note, on our delivery clipboards. Very "informal reporting", isn't it?
My 2 other delivery teams, in 14-15 nearby PA counties, report almost the same ratio of McCain/Obama lawn signs. Who knows what that really means?
Just for "grins", my ass't foreman and I developed a MS-Word-based, 8" x 10" clipboard form, which gives each truck/driver/2-3 deliverers, a quick-and-easy tally sheet, to use in tallying-up the number of each type of lawn signs, which they see. Still, pretty "informal", but at least we're trying to tally what we see, on our delivery/routings.
God Bless America!
I find it beyond laughable, to down right Goebbellesque propoganda.
Anyone who’s actually on the ground in PA can tell you point blank neither Fauxbama nor McCain could carry this state by 13 points.
Fauxbama’s on the ground support is the weakest of any dem since Dukakis here, he has ZERO chance of winning PA, let alone winning it by some blowout, it defies all credibility to claim Fauxbama is up by 13 points here... Fauxbama is losing PA folks, take it to the bank.
Exactly! Some people on here remind me of the MSM and the RATs that if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes reality. :)
Does anybody else find this amusing?
I'm going to find it amusing on November 4th and 5th seeing the look on their faces when McCain wins this.
And IIRC Obama was 9 points ahead of Hillary in the Pa polls just before the Primary
And oh yeah, what 48 said!
Agree...
In 2004 I was demoralized by the number of Kerry signs in Williamsport, PA and surrounding areas.
There are NOWHERE NEAR the number of Obama signs.. Kerry signs outnumbered Bush 2:1 in 2004 in this area. I bet McCain signs outnumber Obama 5:1 this year.
I am falling in love with you HamiltonJay. LOL
If you drove around here for a day or two and took a survey of bumper stickers, you would conclude that Bammy would take this state in a landslide, as there are almost no McCain/Palin bumper stickers.
However, I guarantee you that this state will be firmly in the McCain column on Nov 5 (I live in Arizona).
I think the word is out here that the PIECE-loving Obummer supporters might take a PIECE out of your car if you display a McCain sticker so folks are just waiting until election day to show their political stripes (that includes my wife and I).
"Penn" is not an acceptable abbreviation for Pennsylvania.
PA or Penna. are acceptable.
Please make a note of it.
"Penn State", on the other hand is very popular, and on their way to a national championship.
(And we welcomed Todd Palin at Saturday's tailgate.)
PA is an interesting case. People didn’t go stupid during the housing bubble. Prices in Philadelphia have enjoy a slow and steady upward movement. The state’s in somewhat good shape. Can anyone explain why Philadelphia avoided the boom bust whereas NYC and Boston got trounced.
Dead giveaway that we are succeeding.
Discouragement is part of their strategery and if it fails, they lose.
Woo Hoo! Thanks for the update Hamilton J.
I wonder if the union machine is working that hard for Obama. The union boys could get replaced if Obama/ACORN wins. I bet a lot of ACORN thugs would like those union jobs. If I was a Hillary voter union Dem - I would be voting McCain in the privacy of that voting booth.
ACORN and SEIU illegals would love those union jobs and Obama would give them to his thugs just like Chavez did at Venezuela Petroleum LTD. The natl oil company’s output is tanking cause Chavez cronies are clueless.
The Roonies are a bunch of gamblers that almost lost the team because they were in so much debt. throwing everyone in the area in with the steelers ownership is just stupid. you sound like the MSM with a statment like that.
I want to hear more from Mertha. He is wearing a colon (Colin alt spelling) for a hat.
Seeing the same thing up here in Williamsport/Lycoming County area.
Overwhelming signs for McCain.. Probably 5:1 in Williamsport.. Probably 8:1 in outlaying areas.. In 2004 I would say Kerry signs outnumbered Bush 2:1 in this area.
People have been leaving Philadelphia for the burbs for decades now because of the liberals running the city into the pits.
There will never be a housing boom in Philadelphia.
