What would make the biggest difference for Obama would be for him to actively support all of the down ballot Democratic contestants, which he has not done nor will he do. The support of the down ballot creates a structure conducive to winning. Romney knows that and works with other Republicans, however Obama is so inexperienced that this one aspect of running a major campaign has for some reason completely escaped his view, as if he does not need help from anyone but Joe Biden.

So, let us calm our restless hearts. The first time Obama ran he got lucky and skated into office by sheer magic. However, this second time around he is facing a substantial candidate and he is missing his retractable rollers and facing an uphill climb with only his media and university toadies exasperatingly blowing on his back.

Here in southeastern Montgomery County, PA, you would pick Romney in a landslide if based on signs. The enthusiasm for R/R is much higher than Mcain in 2008. I drive deep into enemy territory in Philly and see 4 or five signs for the O’Chair. In fact in parts of Philly I see more Romney signs overall. DO NOT GIVE UP ON PA. I think we take it. There are a lot of people here who I think voted for Obama last time but are going to swallow pride and vote for Mitt.
