Since when is the Democratic Voting Machine not geared up? The PA "trend" towards McCain is small and late and Obama already has decent lead there. Maybe the polls are totally wrong, but I have not heard a credible story for why that would be the case.

EDIT: by the way, the supposed Pennsylvania tightening? It tightened to a 6 or 7 point Obama lead. Moderate Republicans came home to roost for McCain and he gained independents. It's still bluer than the nation by 3 or 4%.

Obama will not win Pennsylvania by 6 points. Put it on the board.

I wouldn't be so positive of that.

It was 5% bluer than the rest of the Nation when Kerry won it. 6 isn't a stretch.

I don't know about "percentage bluer" or "bluer than the nation." I don't really know what that means, and I didn't know it counted in an election.

What I do know is that Gore won PA by 3.5% in 2000 and Kerry won PA by 2.5%. Pennsylvania is trending red, and the Democratic Voting Machine isn't geared up for this election.

What is so different between Ohio and Pennsylvania that OH is dead even and PA is a big Obama win? I'm telling you guys, these polls don't look like they're adding up to me. Yeah I could be wrong, and it's not like I'm pulling for McCain here. But I think a lot of people are going to be surprised how close this election is going to be.

Ah, Fred. What could have been.....

I said just yesterday that I'd give the right wing (Fox/Limbaugh.Hannity, etc...) a week before they jump on the "I told you all along it shouldn't have been McCain..."

Who will they say it should have been? Romney? None of the other Republican candidates IMO could have done better than McCain.

I agree Mary.

You don't really believe that.

Incumbant president most unpopular in the history of polling with an unpopular war and an economy in the tank. McCain was the best shot.

I think Romney would've done better in an election about the economy. However, when the candidates were selected during the primaries I'm sure most voting then thought this would be about national security and Iraq.
