I'd love to hear from anyone on the ground in Pennsylvania. Are TV ads by McCain and/or surrogates hitting BHO's "we'll bankrupt the coal companies" quote hard and often? Is it gaining any traction?
From the viewpoint of an outside observer, it seems to me the only defense the Dems are offering is that it's old news, or an old quote, as if that changes anything.
I'd like to think this issue puts Pennsylvania in play. How's it look there?
I truly believe this was McCain’s plan all along. Get Pennsylvania in striking distance and then dump this out there to clinch it. The last 72 hours every election is won and McCain will do it.
I’m in a district that NEVER goes Dem, so I didn’t expect to see many ads. Last night, the Jeremiah Wright ad aired, but I haven’t seen the coal stuff, which doesn’t affect my area, either, except on the news.
I keep wondering about the “bradley” thing - Lynn Swann lost to Rendell by a pretty big margin; he even lost P’burgh. PA is definitely hard to call...
