Yeah. I don’t believe Romney has a shot in PA. It’s fool’s gold. My point is that these traditional blue states (MI, PA, WI) are razor edge now, and so the idea that Obama can somehow claim a firewall in traditional swing states (NH, NV, OH, IA) is laughable.
It’s a presupposition. There is no firewall.
You’re right on target, and I didn’t mean to suggest that you thought PA was in play. IMHO, PA will never again be in play for Repubs until we see the “gentrification” of York, Harrisburg, and Philly.
York may have a chance, what with the upgrading of the area around the new ballpark. Harrisburg is decades away — there is now a mere two-block area where you can safely walk in the entire city, and the mayor is an exceptionally obtuse Obamunist. As to Philly, don’t know; haven’t been there since Rocky’s statue was at the top of the steps.
