Looks like Obama’s firewall is crumbling. Maybe its an outlier but a Republican candidate shouldn’t be leading in PA!

Its time to get rough and dirty. You know Obama is the One we’re all still waiting for!

This is where we need to be to send a clear message.

Pennsylvania is a big, complex state, but the current policy on coal, and the slip about the “assault” weapons ban the other night should bring the patriots out of the woodwork there, I’d think.

“Bitter clingers” to God and Country, they.

With the court decision to not enforce voter ID, I was ready to leave PA in obamas column.

I may have to re-think it.

You know better than that. I hope you decide to vote for Romney-Ryan in Colorado. Colorado needs the vote as a stepping stone for a Tea Party take over of Congress.

The Pennsylvania Primary Democrat Undervote predicted this in a closed primary state. We will overcome the Philadelphia voter fraud this time.

It’s not the fraud that we have to overcome; we lost PA huge in 2008. It wasn’t the result of fraud. It’s the supposedly “Republican” counties surrounding Philly that have put Democrats over the top for 20 years. There’s some indication that these idiots may finally be getting the message. We’ll see. It’s also possible that Scranton/Wilkes-Barre coal country will go seriously red if we can get them to understand what’s happening to coal under this regime.

Democrats were oversampled by 6+. That tells you how bad its gotten for Obama in a state he should have locked up!

Now its in play.

“No complacency, no letting up until that sob in the WH is sent packing to Chicago on 01/20/13.”

Yup, that is great advice. Do not trust these leftists! They will not give up their power easily! The voter fraud and disenfranchised voter “Poll Tax” law suits are coming. Count on it. Holder has been strangely quiet. That scares me. Stay vigilant!

To be fair, FZ’s post identified that the ‘supposedly “Republican” counties surrounding Philly’ are the ‘idiots’. When a purportedly R area commonly supports the D candidate, then the term “idiots” may be appropriate.

Relax - at least your state appears to have a chance of going Red.

Imagine how we Freepers in MN feel. Cycle after cycle, Minnesotans - collectively - vote like idiots.

Very interesting internals, with 10% of those surveyed as black. I only hope that people are telling the truth and not lying when polled. It happens - ya know?
