Poll to be released later...
Is that enough margin to overcome the 107% voter turnout for Obama in Philadelphia?
Whether PA votes R/R or not (remember, there are millions of dead people in Philadelphia), if he’s up in PA, Ohio is gone for the Kenyan, probably MI, WI, IA and a few others.
This poll may be the canary in the coal mine for the Kenyan. And it’s lookin’ like a dead canary.
PA is usually ‘fools gold’ for the GOP in presidential elections, but this one could be different. With the coal issue big there, plus many elderly and Jewish voters, and a lot of Reagan Democrats that have nothing in common with Obama, I’d say it’s worth at least putting some resources into the state.

This feels right where I live in South Central PA. I think the Philadelphia suburbs are turning for Romney. I hope Romney starts running ads in the Philadelphia market. That bleeds over into South Jersey and Delaware. This can be contagious.
Bob Beckel on The Five says, “it’s over”.
I live in a fairly liberal township in Montgomery County, one of the Philly suburbs. I found it strange this year that I did not see nearly as many Obama signs as I have in the past. I mean, there are hardly any. Not a lot of Romney signs but that is to be expected.
If Romney wins PA, I suspect its because his slamming Obama’s War on Coal in the West and Scranton is working and because the liberal suburbs of Philly (where I live) aren’t going to turn out and vote like they did before. There is evidence that the Philly suburbs aren’t going to turn out and vote like they have before.
I’m tellin’ ya, Moonbatchusetts is in play.
Posting from behind enemy lines.
I live in the Philly suburbs and go to law school in the area as well. I can tell you right now I see minimal support for Obama other than the Union for Obama signs on the boulevard. Even at law school, there’s not even a big Obama consensus. I’ve been openly discussing his lies from the debate, with lots in earshot, with no one interjecting to defend him.
Holy Lord. That’s the ballgame if even within MOE.
I live in New York City, in the outer borough of Queens. Yesterday, I had to take my wife to the dentist because she was in pain the night before (she needs a crown). We have a great dentist on the Upper East Side of Manhattan (all Liberals up there). I took my son to get something to eat at a bakery nearby. They had some tables where people can sit and eat and drink their coffee.
They had a TV and “The View” was on. They were showing highlights from the debate. An older couple was sitting next to an older woman a few tables away from me. The older couple asked the older woman next to them what she thought about the debate (they obviously didn’t know each other).
So she starts out by saying “well, I think he did much better, but......”. Notice that she didn’t say “I think Obama did better”. Instead, she just said “I think HE did better”. In other words, this area is so Liberal that she only has to say “I think HE did better” (to a total stranger), and it’s a given that she’s referring to Obama.
Her full comment was “I think he did better but, I don’t think it’ll make much difference”. By this point, I was intently watching and listening to this conversation, but the room was noisy, so I didn’t catch everything they said.
But here’s the bottom line: These were hard core Liberals, and the looks on their faces and their body language indicated that they know Obama is going down. Just the fact that the older couple felt the need to ask a stranger what she thought of the debate shows how desperate they are for any kind of good news. So when the older lady said “I don’t think it’ll make much difference”, the older couple looked as though she confirmed exactly what they were feeling.
Take this for what it’s worth, but I think it’s worth a lot, considering that only a few weeks ago, Liberals still thought Obama had the election in the bag.

I would wait until next week polls before getting too confident about PA.
What’s the story with this tweet? Real or not?
