Mitt Romney will campaign in Pennsylvania on Sunday, the first time he's campaigned in the state in many weeks, a Romney campaign official told The Hill.
Romney's campaign has been increasingly bullish about its prospects in the state, launching its first ad there earlier this week. A number of GOP outside groups have also bought millions of dollars in airtime for the final push there. Obama's campaign has scoffed at Romney's push in Pennsylvania and other states they previously haven't contested, although they are investing in ads to combat the GOP outside group's efforts.

Adda boy!
Yeah buddy!!!!!
Look at where the candidates are going in the closing days of the election.
Romney wants to try to sew up PA. I think he can get it and the fact he’s scheduling a campaign stop there Sunday says the Romney Campaign feels that its internal polling is very good!
If nothing else, its a head fake to leave Obama guessing about what happens on Tuesday.
YES!!! I saw the question marks on Romney’s schedule for Sunday earlier in the day. I was hoping he would come here. Hammer, nail, coffin ... time to put Obama in a grave.
I was figuring NV or OR for Sunday, but I like the PA trip a hell of a lot more.
Hell by Sunday the residents of NJ may be so fed up with the FEMA response that it will influence their voting :)
Romney coming to PA ping!
Anyone know where Romney is scheduled on Monday? Ohio, VA?
Expected Return:

PA's 20 Electoral Votes or Nevada's 6 or Oregon's 7.
Too little, too late.
They’re not going to win PA. Their final push is better spent on states that they both need and can win.
I would run some ads here since they have more money than Obama, just to throw Obama off course and force Obama to spend money in a state he wouldn’t otherwise spend it in. Ads can be run in many states simultaneously, but coming here is a waste of valuable time since you can only be in one place at one time.
I like it!
I think PA is a better state for Romney than OH. Twice as many suburbanites. Ma and Pa in the Volvo have stopped drinking the Kool Aid.
“Too little, too late.”
I think the Romney campaign is in a better position to make that judgement. The have better information than we do.
The registration edge here is D+13. Among active registrations, it’s D+12 (considered active by PA Dept of State as of 10/15/2012.) I think a realistic model for election day is D+8 or D+9. If the polls are anywhere near correct, it’s going to be close.
Romney also doing well in Oregon. He’s only down 3 in the latest poll and he hasn’t even been there.
I was figuring those two because I had PA in the Romney column already...I’m thinking mandate ;)
