Thousands. The number is over now over 3,000 in Southwest Virginia alone.
Coal and shale is changing the vote in PA. If we could only turn of the electricity to Philadelphia to make the hood vote realize where energy comes from.
The Philly stats are overwhelming. He needs Philly County and Pittsburg...and that’s about it.
Romney is going to carry Pa. Coal country is going to vote for him in greater numbers than for any GOP candidate ever. He is going to carry the Philly suburbs—unlike McCain or GWB—and he is going to carry rural Pa with a higher turnout than ever seen before. He will increase his percentage of the Philly vote to the largest share since GHWB took Pa in 1988. Lok for Romney to win nearly 51% of the Pa. vote. That will bury the Kenyan for good.
Ill-Annoy used to be coal country, but we have sequestered it along with Conservatives holding public office. No Mitt bump in Ill-Annoy coal country that I can tell from suburbia.
I agree and Ohio and West Virginia are right there also
Will Obama’s shutting down of coal fire plants also help drive Democrats to Romney? Shutting down both the power plants and the mining lead to lay offs AND higher energy prices.
From your keyboard to God's monitor!
I sure hope you’re right — but, the black/hispanic votes in Philly, York, and Harrisburg are devastating. In the latter two cities, there is barely a square inch of civilized territory remaining. They will definitely go for Obama.
I live in WV, Obama will not win here.
They think electricity comes from a wall with a socket in it!
Seems to me that in PA, like Chicago, it takes at least 55% for a Repub to win a statewide contest.
Do not succumb to negative thinking. Many of those animals will never darken the door of a polling station. Romney is going to win Pa. Obama is in deep trouble.
Several times a week I drive through the extremely liberal sections of Philadelphia - Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, and Germantown. Lots of college professor types, assorted weirdos and homosexuals (most of whom are White) as well as more mainstream working African Americans. Mt. Airy and Germantown are primarily Black with the fruits and nuts thrown in, while Chestnut Hill is primarily white. In 2008, lawns and windows were wallpapered with Obama signs. I’d never seen anything like it. This year, there are less Dem signs than you’d see in a normal presidential election year for this liberal area. The silence is astounding. There is NO WAY the African Americans will turn out for Obama in the same numbers they did last time. I’m pretty sure that Obama is going to lose the suburbs this time. There are far , far more Romney and anti-Obama yard signs than pro-Obama signs. THis is a huge departure from the last few presidential elections where things were either tie or advantage Dems.
Electricity magically appears whenever I need it. Who cares where it comes from? /obamavoter
