Told ya so.
I live here and the only places you ever hear anyone sing Obama’s praises are:
-Black neighborhoods in inner city Pittsburgh and Philly
-College campuses
-In Union Halls (and even there only among the kool aid drinkers)
Democrats have a 3 or 4 to 1 registration advantage around here and you hardly ever see an Obama yard sign or bumper sticker. He has really, REALLY alienated the white working class.
I live in a pretty liberal part of the Philly burbs. Area was festooned with Obama signs in 2008 - including some in Hebrew. Hardly see any now.
Yes, don’t assume every member of a union is an Obama
supporter or drinks the kool aid.
PA is a coal state. I’ve seen a ton of Stop the War on Coal signs... The poll that has Bambi leading by 10 was based on a model of 39D 27R 28I. The Dems have been fighting the Voter ID law like crazy because they know that they can not win PA in a fair election.
I have not seen many Romney signs in my end of Allegheny County (other than my own), but I see very many anti-Obama signs. “Keep America Free - Fire Obama” and “Stop the War on Coal - Fire Obama” and the ones I see most. By the same token, I have not seen a single Obama sign. I’ve only seen a handful of bumper stickers, mostly the 2008 stickers. Only have seen a couple 2012 Obama stickers. Have seen a handful of Romney stickers and a bunch of anti-Obama stickers.
I Agree, I’d say the race in PA right now is about a 3-4 pointer, but Romney doesn’t seem to want to fight for it, so I expect it to end the day in that range. If they fight for it, I think its winnable, but they would have to really commit to fighting for it.
The number of angry blue collar life long democrats here is amazing! Obama has basically spit on the Blue Dogs.. and they are abandoning him.
“... you hardly ever see an Obama yard sign or bumper sticker.”
Yep! I cut across from Lancaster through Chester County to work everyday through the outer ring suburban horsey land of the Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes. Last time there were signs a plenty. This time there is ONE Obama sign on my entire route.
