President Obama has jumped to a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Pennsylvania shows Obama with 51% of the vote to Romney’s 39%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and seven percent (7%) remain undecided.

I wonder about that. Can Texas support itself, food wise?
Yes, that is the case.
There isn’t much we can do about it, we are outnumbered by stupid as far as the eye can see.
More Americans are loving the idea of a Federal “parent” taking care of you, even some Republicans like this idea. Why the surprise when someone promising more wins? Freemen can overcome Obama, unfortunately freemen cannot overcome the electorate who vote for public servants like Obama.
The state’s population has been in decline because college graduates leave the state before they enter the workforce. I think just a tiny percentage of college graduates who could afford to leave the state chose to stay in the last 20 years or so. In the meantime hispanics and liberals from NY/NJ move in to buy up cheap, unwanted housing and the indigenous population gets older and reliant on government checks.
The “blue-collar Reagan Democrat” is a big constituency here, but they’re Democrats not because of liberal social policy but because they hate rich people. They would swing vote for someone like Paul Ryan, a middle-class Catholic, but Ryan’s sudden disappearance from almost all news coverage probably pushed Romney’s numbers down. Romney is the textbook picture of the caricature of a Republican that these voters have always despised, the same kind of wealthy business tycoon who they grew up hearing gunned down striking miners 100 years ago and that sort of thing.
As for the blacks in Philly, other minorities, and the young, middle-to-upper class and very liberal whites in the suburbs, I haven’t heard of one who’s going to change their vote. They’re still just as in love with Obama as they’ve always been. The educated types will spew the perfectly memorized left-wing memes they were taught in college as reason to vote for Obama, chief among them the idea that health care, education, housing, food, etc. “should” be free for everyone.
They already did! Remember Fast Eddie Rendell?
I love how the libs tag 2009 to Bush - Stimulus and all. They are sick Fs.
They called 500 likely voters.
Do they list the R/D/| split?
I do, but they learned nothing, and should they assist in re-electing Obama, much, much worse will come their way.
And they will deserve it.
“Ann Romney’s near-tears performances on TV last week may reflect scary internal polls”
I missed this. She was near tears? This would have been all over the MSN to “prove” Romeny was toast. I don’t buy it.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
I don’t see how unless it is a massive blowout.

Do you think I believe a word that comes out of Messina’s mouth? If he was anything other than a scumbag liar, he wouldn’t be part of the Obama campaign.
PA is not in play this election and never has been, the title is misleading, it’s is not a swing state this time around.

Romney will win PA.
just one factor... lots of Catholics there.
and Obama is down 27% with Catholics, from 2008.
Obama is down were EVERY group.
even NARAL’s study show WOMEN abandoning Obama...
WOOOSH....McCain and The Undocumented One, quick back to D.C. for the big 08 Bailout under Bush.
Two Big govt. faction parties, at war with one another, seeking who they may devour.
Philly has always been dark blue. The idiots are the enviro-conscious white upper middle class folks in places like Bucks County that used to vote GOP but are now card carrying democrats. I used to live there so I know what I’m talking about.
