"They are suspicious of him and his Ivy League buddies who have never run anything in their lives (but) that now want to run the country."Best one-liner yet.

"...In an odd way, many liberals are tone-deaf about normal people, who worship God, country, sports and their communities and don't care all that much about politics..." Very True. Unfortunately, many politicians fall into this category.
Show how much we need to get out every 'vote McCain - Palin vote' that is possible!

There are 20 million hunters living in the hills of PA and a lot of other folks who just own guns.

The polls and pundits called Pennsylvania for Obama over Clinton.
Let us show them that same upset.

Yes, but I remember a FReeper from Michigan assuring me, in 2006, that Michiganders would NEVER vote for a Presidential candidate that was a gun grabber. This, as he was planning not to vote in the 2006 election, despite my efforts to convince him otherwise. Hummmm, now in which column is Michigan?

Say what you will, Obama’s “spread the wealth” tongue-slip hit home here.
That is the problem. It was NOT a tongue slip. The man is a wannabe Communist. And while Pennsylvania has its issues, We did elect Fast Eddie Rendell as Governor and we do have Congressman “our soldiers are murderers” Murtha, but I do not see the vast majority of my fellow citizens as being Communist. So how could they vote for Obama?

I fear that PA is changing, however, with upcoming generations believing in handouts, not two jobs. Let’s hope the hard-working folks can overcome that.

Many FReepers are proud members of the Ostrich Brigade.

Good article Salena !
They are suspicious of him and his Ivy League buddies .. it is all in the arrogance bingo
By way of validation, the sentences following that quote pretty accurately describe the predominant values, philosophy, and ethics of the big 'T' in this state, and in most other states as well, regardless the demographic shape of their particular 'letter'.
It's 'T' folks throughout our nation who actually make it function, most often in spite of the giant sucking effect of their respective states' metropolitan areas.

This a great article. I think it actually portrays the Pennsylvania spirit. The MSM just doesn’t get it mainly because they never leave the cities!
I have to admit that I don’t believe the polls. There are very few BHO signs that I have seen...maybe 2. Lots and lots of McCain/Palin signs. Oh and there’s this one guy and his family who ALWAYS have their front yard filled with dem signs....there no signs in his yard this year....

I'm near Allentown, PA. The word here on the ground is that the massive new registrations of mind-numb young and college "Bush haters" is off-the-hook. If we survive that and the ACORN illegal vote wave, we will win PA. I don't know how the new young 'protest votes' will do in other states, but it doesn't sound positive to me.
Let's hope they don't turn out en masse, as usual, and we'll be fine. Otherwise , all bets are off.
Don't shoot the messenger. I flipped a few relatives to our side this week. Did what I could do.

Your Freeper from MI did not note what my neightbor did. Our UnEmployment is probably more like 30%, 10% here, the other 20% left to find new lives and work already. Many Conservative already left, the state is getting blue-er, and so the mood of us Reaganites left here in this Neo-Socialist Paradise.
If you want to Obama's America, come to Michigan.....

2006 wasn’t a presidential election. Did you mean 2004 or 2000?

Do people there know that unemployment here in Dallas/Fort Worth is around 5%? Everywhere I go I see “help wanted” signs. This isn’t the Soviet Union (yet) so people are allowed to move to better themselves.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my explanation. It was during the run-up to the Congressional election of 2006 that I had this “conversation”. The FReeper was planning not to vote in the election, but was trying to reassure me, during the course of the conversation, that folks from Michigan would NEVER vote for a “gun grabber” candidate for President. This was in response to my efforts to convince him that he should vote in the election and not leave the outcome to chance—or Democrats.
Now it appears that Michigan will be a blue state and we could, possibly, be stuck with a Dem President, Dem House AND Dem Senate. That was the only point I was trying to make.
