Its close in PA
The Railroad unions and the UMW rank-and-file are against Zero because of his war on coal. The UMW for obvious reasons, and the IBET because the three railroads here, (NW, CSX, AVR), all depend on King Coal for most of their revenue.
The mine workers really should endorse Romney, if they do maybe their union could last for another decade or two.
If I ran a union I’d be d*mned to hell before I endorsed a guy who promised to “bankrupt” my industry.
Yup. That's exactly right. And another factor is that he's losing the rich white Philadelphia suburban voter (where I live). The economy's in the toilet and Romney is pro-abortion and pro-gay enough for the female limo libs to cast their vote for Romney or at the very least stay home. I predict Romney/Ryan in at least 3 of the 5 Philadelhphia area counties - obviously Obama will take Philadelhphia itself, and R/R will take Chester, but the other 3 counties are in play and my impression is they are leaning Romney.
One thing I noticed last election was just about every single car driven by an African American had an Obama bumper sticker, but especially the Mercedes and Lexuses. This time around, no bumper stickers and I have in my head those same cars and families in Chick-Fil-A during all the hubbub. I would not be surprised if wealthy AA families vote Romney this time, because while Romney's not the best in the gay rights area, the Dems are clearly pro-gay. Blacks going for Romney seems unimaginable to me, but it was so shocking to see the huge African American support for Chick-Fil-A that it really stuck with me.
