Absolutely not, and I say this as a PA voter. If anything, it would have driven the swing voters in suburban Philly and Pittsburgh further into the Kerry column.
That would be contrary to Bush's winning strategy everywhere else: Get the conservative vote energized and bring it out in large numbers.
That would have been the only way to win in PA, too. But not with Snarlin' Arlen.
