What I find surprising (and I am one of Murtha’s rednecks here), is that McCain and Palin are still here in the state so often. If the state was lost, they wouldn’t be here, but they are. So perhaps the internal polls are accurate, or at least painting a better picture than the national polls are showing.
I have no doubt that their internal polls are more optimistic than the public polls and that as a result they believe the state is winnable. But up by 15 points? Nonsense. If their polls show that then Pennsylvania is in the bag and they’d be campaigning elsewhere. They don’t have time or money to waste on a sure thing.
Murtha told me you were racist.
