Okay, PA FReepers. Lay it on me. Is Romney spending the last precious hours of the campaign in vain? To try and manufacture an image that he has a chance there? Or can he really turn the tease state red?

Everyone, especially those of us in swing states, get out and vote!!!!

I’ve spent most of my life in PA. It is forever a tease for the good guys. It’s “in play,” but will ultimately go to The Marxist. That said, I think it is smart for Romney to push here & strategically, it helps him win.

Journalism malpractice

Pennsylvania is in play.
Romney is not trying to put it in play.

Pennsylvania citizens fed up with Obama put it in play. Voter id laws put it in play. Obama’s presidency put it in play.

McCain did it when he realized Ohio was lost. This time folks are really considering someone new after this mess. Cricket even Michigan is close.

This is more like in 08 when Obama pushed into NC and IN and everyone thought he was crazy. Romney is pushing for a convincing win. Not quite landslide but more convincing than either Bush win.

PA is in play! I live in Plum, PA just east of Pittsburgh. You see 20 Romney or stop the war on coal fire Obama signs for every one Obama sign. Everyone I talk to about this is so excited we are counting down the days until the election. We are now at D-day+4. Here is something that may help that I do not see factored into the polls. We passed a law that you must show id to vote. A few weeks back they delayed it for this election, but the effect will still be almost the same. The poll person will still ask for an ID. You don't have to show it. If you have an outstanding warrant or have some reason that you don't feel comfortable showing id, you will not vote.

You guys are reassuring me. Romney has to win this election. I can’t wait to know the outcome, because this back and forth of confidence and despair (entirely on my part) is painful!

FOUR MORE DAYS!!

The MSM reports it, more than the MSM would report something that was NOT news, like Romney going to a Republican State.

Free Media is the name of the game right now!

That, and the “Romney Surge” meme

Two areas are flippable that have been Democrat in recent Presidential elections. The Philadelphia suburbs -- enough has already been said about that -- and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Coal Country. The GOP should be laying down massive fire about the EPA and 0bama's war on coal in that territory.

Additionally, If The Roman Catholic Church is really serious about the Life Issue and the thousands or millions of additional unborn children who will be murdered by 0bamacare (and the Roman Institutions that will be required to fund that) then the Dioecesis Scrantonensis needs to get priests to read a letter this coming Sunday reminding Catholics of their duty not to materially assist in, to vote for, or to endorse any candidate who supports: abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, same-sex marriage, or cloning. These issues are non-negotiable and parishioners should be further warned that they are de facto excommunicated if they vote for a candidate who supports these issues.

This message is being read out in many places across the country on the last two Sundays before the election. I have not heard if the Diocese of Scranton has been one of them. It has the potential to have a huge impact in PA if it has. It could also have some effect with Reagan Democrats in the Archdiocese of Johnstown/Altoona as well.

Romney has to win and Obamacare must go! Two more things are happening right now.

1) Obama should have stayed in the Sandy disaster area and look like the President. Believe me, I am glad he left, but the anger in NY and NJ is white hot.
2) People are now signing up for 2013 health care. They are seeing large increases in cost and reduced benefits. I work for a Wall Street Bank and they have already told us in 2014 we are only going to have one plan. It will be a high deductible plan. your deductible will be several thousand dollars before any coverage kicks in. I will have worse Health care then if I worked as a full time clerk at Wal-Mart. These two things are firing up the voters and guess who is going to take the brunt of it? The Democrats. They went all in with Obama and they are going down with the ship because of Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. The political three stoogies!

In 2008, McCain staff started releasing negative stuff about Palin 5-6 days before election. No leak till now from Romney camp, it means they are confident. Obama camps are in panic.

I dont think Romney would be wasting his time in PA unless he is confident that Ohio will be a certain win for him.

Romney is smart and knows what he is doing.

Yes, I think he is. Looking at the latest polling in the last two days, seems Mitt got done in by Sandy. I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect Obambi pulls it out and the country is basically done.

Yup...but only because of a 103% voter turnout...

Chunga, if I was trolling I would be starting posts to troll. I’m worried sick about this election. I have several friends that work for several Senators, all GOP. I’m worried. Just my nature, I don’t like where the polls are going the last few days. Hope like hell I’m wrong. If I am, we will both be celebrating on Tuesday night along with my wife.

Shove the negativity, n00b! We're trying to shore up enthusiasm here!

Buzz off!
