Yesterday the bombshell Susquehanna poll, now this. Dude, is this happening?
Actually, I think this is less about putting Pennsylvania in play (for now) than it is about messing with Democrats’ heads and making a pitch to southeastern Ohio next door, but it’s a fun little gambit.

“Romney just might win PA.”
I am hopeful, although this will no doubt ensure the return of Eric Holder’s Black Panther shock troops providing “security” at polling places throughout greater Philadephia.
IMHO I disagree. I think PA is in play, and I think OH ends up red. Lots of coal, and steel in these 2 states. It takes coal to make steel. Yeah there’s a lot of union, but I believe they will separate from their leadership once in the booth.
I know it’s anecdotal but I went to the Romney rally in Portsmouth OH, a town of about 20,000, and we had 6-8000 people show up. There were about 20 protestors for Obozo who showed up, and the event was on a college campus. There is no enthusiasm for the muslim down here Southern OH.
We can write off where the panthers hang out, Philadelphia. It’s the surrounding counties and western PA, i.e., Pittsburgh, that would be Romney country.
Someone in Philly needs to kneecap those Black Panther SOBs!

I have been predicting a landslide in Ohio for Romney. The 47%will not be getting off their tails to cast votes. They are like overfed cats relaxing in their section eight housing. BTW.. beautiful murals on the floodwalls in Portsmouth.
PA Ping!

Ryan needs to say two things: (a) “Coal” and (b) Wisconsin could have been the home of the folks in The Deer Hunter.
The American spirit still lives in this country. We may still cling to our guns and our Bibles, but that’s because someone wants to take them, and our American way of life, away from us.
Dick Morris on Hannity, said he had seen another internal republican poll taken earlier this week, that had Romney +3 in PA. So it may really be in play this year. This will all be about turnout. Who wants to vote and make a change. This is looking like November 2010 all over again.
I can tell you what I see driving around eastern PA.....all I see is Romney signs in the yards. If I had to guess the ratio is something like 30 Romney signs for every 4 obama. Everyone I know is commenting on this.....definitely different than 4 years ago.

Obama cannot afford to lose PA, nor even appear to be at risk of losing PA on election night. If PA is declared for Romney while polls are still open on the west coast, Dems will just stay home there.
Here in SE PA (excluding Philly) it's more like 2 or 3 to 1 with Romney the clear winner. However, that's only because in the last two or three days some Obama signs have been popping up. In the burbs, but particularly when you cross into Philadelphia, the sheer dearth of Obama signs is remarkable, particularly when you go into the primarily African American neighborhoods. The sign situation here marks a huge shift from the last few presidential elections.
I'm really hoping that the combination of an unenthused African American base staying home coupled with a fair amount of liberal elites in the burbs going for Romney is enough to tip PA to Romney.
I live outside Philly NE and four years ago all you saw were Oby signs... This year.... NONE!
Occasional Romney, but more importantly NO OBAMA!
I’m seeing the same thing here in western Pa - I’m in Indiana County.
I’m in Westmoreland County (east of Pittsburgh)...and I can say I have NEVER seen as many campaign signs as I have in the last week or so. There is one very popular one “SAVE COAL, FIRE OBAMA” (I personally want a couple—an extra one for my daughter’s place. Only with those are the R/R, as well as Tom Smith (who is sneaking past Bob Casey—Casey being only dimly aware he IS currently a US Senator) and for the Ra further down the ticket. I have seen 3 Obama signs (in 08 O/B signs were every where).
Hi PaMom! (waves!) I want one of those signs, but our GOP headquarters can’t keep them in stock! In fact, they can’t keep Romney signs in stock!
