Internal Obama Poll Reports He Is Up By 2 In Pennsylvania

Steve Corbett, a radio talk show host in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, received a copy of an internal email sent by Grant Olan who heads the Wilkes-Barre headquarters of the Obama campaign. The email went to 627 Obama campaign volunteers in the Wilkes-Barre Scranton region, saying that Obama Headquarters reported an internal poll which shows that Obama is only 2 points up in Pennsylvania.

Sean Smith, who is heading Obama's Pennsylvania campaign, was interviewed by Steve Corbett via phone at 5:35 today to discuss this. He said that Grant "went rogue", and aknowledged that Grant was "reprimanded" for this. Sean would not deny that the internal poll showed this, and his words were carefully chosen.

Take it for what it's worth. This is a synopsis of what I heard on the radio interview a short while ago. Steve Corbett seems to be an honest journalist; hopefully they will post the interview on their website.

There is a reason why McCain and Palin are spending so much time in PA and reasons why they are spending time and money in Maine and New Hampshire, too. On the flip side, there may be good reasons why they’ve abandoned Michigan that we are not aware of.

Hmmm. Wonder what their Florida and Ohio “internal polls” show. This is the best thing I’ve heard all freakin day!
AND, I wonder if we’ll hear about this on the news tonight. Uh, prolly not.

Up 2 still makes him a winner in PA...internal polls are generally better than external....

It is likely that the polls in states and nation-wide have been tampered with by the liberals.

This is so exciting! If we have any chance at winning PA.... that would be a miracle!

I think some of those Penn residents heard and understood when Biden said “We do not support clean coal”. Me thinks Penn will go red.

If I were running....I’m sure my staff would have my internal polls showing a lead as well...

it would make sense as why would obama keep going back there and sending people on his behalf and why would McCain still be spending money and spending time there

I bet the internal polls are a lot different than the bias medias are

I spoke with someone today who said that NH is very much game for McCAIN

That would be great news...but you don’t think it might be a feint?

Before D-Day the allies put an already dead body in the sea and gave him a fake identity and fake papers indicating a different time and place for D-Day...it was a ruse...

I do think this seems right about where the election is in PA...given how much time that McCain and Palin seem to be spending there...

Michigan is, and always was, a lost cause-—like NJ. When you have a state so in the crapper that keeps electing a Dem governor, don’t waste your money. I think McCain should pull out of NM, too. The race is NV, CO, OH, VA, and FL. PA would be a killer, and if the Messiah is only leading by two, I think he’s cooked.

Being a Pennsylvanian this disgusts me that citizens of my State would hate America so much as to inflict this dangerous socialist on us all.
