Forgot to mention, those are 2008 Pennsylvania numbers.

[who knows what evil?]

Now that is a very interesting website.

Interesting, but amateur night...look at the dates; '2112' instead of '2012'...news stories several months old. Fun numbers, but can't take them seriously...

Ditto. The men behind the curtain with Ivy League degrees and pompous self-images really are zombies mouthing the party line. There is little thinking in liberalism.

Well I don't know about that. The latest mainstream media poll has Romney just two points down in PA. The actual internals could well show Romney ahead, which is why he's focusing his efforts elsewhere.

I have a feeling we'll see Romney/Ryan in PA sometime in the next few weeks to firm the state up.

It is amazing. I know some that live in the middle of coal country and the left have convinced them that coal dust along the roads is killing them. Not enough deep thinking going on. They want to drive toys that burn tons of energy, but they don’t want dirty hydrocarbons coming out of the ground.

Here you go. From last Wed.

There’s that 47% again.

[StarFan]

..most accurate polls are the ones done by the campaigns that never see the light of day.

So true which is why I think this poll is an overstretch having just recently read that Romney pulled out of PA. I doubt he pulled out because it's in the bag, but it's a nice dream.

It is isn’t it?

[Mr. Silverback]

I have come to respect you greatly over the years and I am saddened at your profound lack of wisdom here. Even if your premise was correct (and it's not) you're saying we have a choice between the GOP establishment and a Marxist who will deep six our economy permanently, possibly on purpose.

Getting Obama out of the White House is almost certainly a matter of national survival. Vote accordingly.

[mandaladon]

Amazing...Obama is going going to hit road on Nov 6.

Are you sh**ing me? Unfreakin-believable. How is it that Romney can be doomed (allegedly)?

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh drown out the rest of the stake. Two blue dots in an otherwise red state.

[Theodore R.]

The miners are too uninformed to know of Obama’s position on coal.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm ..?? I remember seeing info somewhere about Romney meeting with the Coal Union people and they were supporting Romney.

The main thing that keeps me - barely - on the Romney side is the SCOTUS.

The main argument against a Romney victory lies in the cycle enunciated by one Alexander Tytler:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

The more quickly we can pass through the apathy/dependence/bondage phase, the sooner real rebuilding can begin.
