It is possible to get Pa if we can capture Pittsburg.
Pittsburgh isn’t the issue with PA, never was... Philly is what drags PA Dem.. that region alone moves the state 5-8 points democratic. Harrisburg and Pitt are non starters.
If Philly was not part of PA, PA and OH would be nearly identical politically in terms of how the states would go.
Ohio doesn’t have to overcome a Philly (with well over 10% of the entire states population in the city proper) dragging it left.. So if Obama is only pollin up a few points in PA... he’s got no chance in Ohio.
AS to winning PA, you don’t have to win Pittsburgh to win PA.. you just have to come out of Philly without getting completely overwhelmed. You pull that off, as a republican and you can win. I firmly believe PA is winnable for Romney if he fights for it. If Obama has a lead here at all its just by the slimmest of margins, a few percentage points at best.
