PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- Democratic volunteer Carol LaBelle appears undaunted by this falls headwind of GOP enthusiasm as she works her way through a call list of fellow senior citizens at a phone bank in Center City.
Along with about a dozen other volunteers at this Philadelphia office staffed and run by Organizing for America, LaBelle is trying to drum up support for the Democrats that top Pennsylvania's ticket this fall: gubernatorial nominee Dan Onorato and Rep. Joe Sestak, who with Republican Pat Toomey is locked in one of the tightest Senate battles in the country in 2010.

Democrats are now so lost they are grasping at any microgroup trying to get their vote. Hopefully Nov 2nd will be a much bigger blowout than anyone ever thought possible.

That’s old school. It used to be that the guy who had the most voters turnout and vote for him would win the election. Now we’ve got unions and ACORNs (uniCORNs) deciding who wins.

Allyson Schwartz actually came to a townhall tonight in Abington - and left early. She is actually in a fight now, and has to lower herself to mingling with the rabble. Her attacks against Dee Adcock have been flat-out lies - but it might backfire, given that Dee's biggest barrier has been name recognition, and she's getting his name out there.
Dee was brilliant in his close, pondering if he, as a businessman, would keep around an employee that shows up late and leaves early, when they show up at all...

Fraud is all that matters in the Keystone state. When you get 110% turnout, it’s tough to beat.

Good!Get rid of the democratic ss ponzi scheme along with the federal no reserve and all democrats.It was a scam from day 1 to get money away from the American people just like the rip off withholding taxes that the government scammed everyone with in the 40's with a fake V tax that ran out in 2 years in the time of war.The us governmnet are scam artist!

The early voting numbers from PA are dramatic (in favor of the GOP). If the advantage over RATS holds up, 110% turnout wont be enough!

Methinks you will be seeing 220 percent in places like Philly and Pittsburg.

There is no reason Illinois should have the reputation of croocked politics PA is way more corrupt! I still expect to see turnout in Philly county and surrounding suburbs well over 115%. Like usual that is 115% of population, not just voters.

I seem to recall “organizing For America” as being an offshoot of ACORN. Is that true?

That’s more like it. That one outlier poll last week came out and the lamestream media picked up the ball and ran with it. It won’t matter. Toomey by a very comfortable margin.
Obama coming back to Philly on Saturday, Michelle will be back here on Monday. ...it won’t do any good. Sestak is toast.
