Pennyslvania Governor: Voter turnout looks good- but not as high as he hoped in Philadelphia

Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell told reporters this afternoon that he is "optimistic, but by no means overconfident" about Barack Obama's chances in the state.

Speaking at the city political establishment's annual luncheon at the Famous 4th Street Deli in Queen Village, Rendell said that voter turnout "looks to be good all over the state," and is "going to be very good" in Philadelphia - although not as high as he had hoped.

You just beat me to it. That guy reeks of troll.

If McCain takes PA he’s president-elect. And welcome to Free Republic.

[PA Engineer]

Yep. Not going to get as many post hour votes in filthydelphia that they were hoping for.

Remember, there are 57 states, with double-infinity electoral votes!

McCain’s campaign was too poorly organized and there are too many disgruntled employees talking to the media trying to portray the lovely Sarah Palin as a rogue diva.

He has run a very organized and brilliant campaign. And there have been no stories of disgrunted employees that I've read.

Since you just signed up - 10/27 - I assume you are here only to inject lies into threads.

Voting is heavy in Western PA. It will go McCain. The swing suburbs around Philly and Pittsburgh will follow suit. Core Philly should normally offset but Obama is not going to get what Kerry got and I'll be surprised if he betters Kerry's turnout.

Remember, there are 7 states, after the 50, with double-infinity electoral votes!

[wideawake]

Indeed. Too-obvious handle and born-on date, but not as stupid as usual - makes nice comments about Sarah Palin, talks about freedom . . . but all in aid of his voter-suppressive statement that a McCain win in PA still gives McCain little chance of winning.

PA is the ballgame.

You beat me to it!!!! How obvious could Doug be? HA HA he needs to go back to the Kos kids site.

[Pantera]

Not sure what happened, but I was wrong (i think). I swear it was white but it’s not now. Nothing has changed there (yet). Sorry for the misinformation.

[johniegrad]

If McCain wins Pennsylvania then he has a slight chance to win the Presidency.

Welcome to Free Republic. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

[Bush Revolution]

Could you be more obvious? Go back to Kos and HP. We don’t like your kind around here.

[kevao]

Didn’t they teach you to be a little more subtle at troll school?

[CottonBall]

I have read that Obama has to come out of Philadelphia with a large lead to overcome the rural areas and western coal mining areas of Pennsylvania.

Those places with all the racist bitter clingers that Obama wants to put out of work.

Hi Doug,
Know this one?

“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of
servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home
from us in peace.

We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick
the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you;
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
— Samuel Adams —

If voting in Philadelphia is less than expected, McCain-Palin will likely win Pennsylvania and the election. Regardless of who wins, Philly will burn tonight.

Not being a tradesport gal- not sure what “white” means? Going from blue to white signifies?

[EdnaMode]

If McCain wins PA, I think he will win the whole thing. I think PUMA Power is going to be bigger than anyone can predict.
