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.
Take out the voter fraud in Philly and maybe PA is in play. Just sayin’.
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.
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.
Many part of PA are booming with the Marcellus play. All so counties getting rich from it will be hard GOP. Most of PA is GOP but Pittsburgh and Philly are Dems. This will be a squeeker but I really think Obama is in for a BIG surprise.
The energy sector here is strongly GOP.
2) Zero is in CO. Huh? That was supposed to be in the bag for him.
3) You can tell by the schedules who is winning.
If you never try to change minds you will never begin to make head way in a state and you as a party have determined to paint yourself into a smaller and smaller pathway to victory.
I’m probably younger than a lot of Freepers, but I live in Bucks County (Philly swing suburb), and I have never seen this much support for a GOP candidate since 2000. There’s very little, if any, Obama yard signs or bumper stickers.
Hopefully Romney will pick up the suburbs and win this thing!
An anecdotal story from tonight:
I was at a ballroom dance event in Harrisburg tonight and went to dinner at the restaurant there. As luck would have it sitting across from me was a family Mom, Dad, and two young adults...perhaps their kids. I overhear the conversation. Some of the things I heard were. Mom says “Tea Party Idiots”, “I hate Chris Christi” “I hate Tom Corbett” (R gov of Pa). The young adult says “There is only one reason that I’m voting for Obama and that’s because he got Bin Laden”. And the father says, “Pennsylvania is a lock because there will be 500,000 votes coming out of Philadelphia”. I am listening to this and couldn’t keep my mouth shut. So I say to the young male, “Obama didn’t get bin Laden the navy seals did” It was like I poked a hornets nest. A storm of invective was sent my way. Husband: “I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh or watch Fox news I use my brain” “Romney is an elitist” “He doesn’t care about half the country”,”Republicans trying to suppress the vote with voter id”, “My disabled sister shouldn’t need a voter id”. Wife: “Look at the video ( the 47% video) that proves he doesn’t care”, mockingly laughing at me “hahahahaha the liberal media right hahahahaha” .
My responses as calmly as i could was to ask about Benghazi ...no reply. To ask if they knew of the Alabama utility company who drove up to New Jersey to offer help with the power outages but turned back because they were not union... no reply. Asked husband where he got his news? He said many different places. He kept repeating that PA is a lock because there will be 500,000 votes coming out of Philadelphia. I asked him where he works....he works for the labor department...gee fancy that.
Meanwhile in the booth next to this family was a couple, who became my back up. They were definitely urging me on. In fact when the husband said he doesn’t watch fox news....the guy said maybe you should.
Anyhow the conversation died down. They stopped paying attention to me. I tried once to get the attention of the wife but she wouldn’t acknowledge me. Here comes I wish i could have said this alert. If i could have talked to her I would have said, “Ma’am you mentioned Tea Party idiots. I have an IQ close to the mensa range. So you remember that the next time you spew your bigoted hatred” (That line was well rehearsed on my drive home) When they were leaving I said trying to be friendly, “Have a good rest of your evening” They just ignored me.
I chatted with the couple in the next booth. They told me they were from Western Pennsylvania. And all of Western Pa is for Romney except perhaps for Pittsburgh. That they had never seen anything like it before. They also told me they have a friend from the CIA and that if he heard what this family in the next booth was saying he would have pulled a chair up to their booth and started a conversation.
