Obama doesn't have PA sewn up. I am not arguing in any way that Obama has this election sewn up. I am arguing that the polling results cited in the original post are ridiculous garbage.
We shouldn't put our hopes in random anonymous phone calls to radio stations. We all would love for Obama to be 20 points behind right now, but he's not. McCain is trailing narrowly and hopefully the undecideds break his way so he can pull it out. But he's not running way ahead in Pennsylvania and all these other states. If he was, he wouldn't be hanging out there either.
Palin's time is a scarce resource (just as all the candidates' time is at this point). If she's being sent to Indiana it's because they are concerned about that state. That doesn't mean they're behind there, but that belies the notion that McCain is way ahead in a bunch of key states.
I agree that the post was not based on anything tangible.
But, the fact is that some polls have shown some NE States in play.
I think Obama is going to have a lot of problems with Hillary voters as well as other minority voters, who don't, frankly, like Blacks at all.
As for Palin, it could be that she is needed to help for some other candidates raise funds and rally support.
Palin was in Indiana a couple days ago and it got coverage in Ohio and Kentucky. That's a way to kill 3 birds with one stone.
Ohio is iffy, IN shouldn't be, and KY should be home free, but they need to also worry about turnout. Sometimes, that's what rallies are for as well.
Let's look at the full context of what Sarah is doing.
Sarah has been canvasing in PA and it appears she will do the same the final day in Iowa. Those are supposed to be Obama states.
Evansville Indiana is on the way to Iowa. She will touch down there for one stop.
