New Poll has McCain up by 9 in PA. What about scrappy Joe..??
Rove has Obama +5, I trust Karl on this...
Usually on election day, Philly is “vastly oversampled” on election day.
Needs to be repeated.
This survy is for the PA 10th district, not the entire state.

nobama network has hundreds? of links to anti bambi sites. Hillary was right,lolol.....
Yeah, I see now oh well..
It looks like the poll is ONLY of PA District 10, not the whole state.
The mentioned that this district is mainly white (you know, bitter, clinging to guns, antipathy to people not like them, etc...) and more rural.
“Vote Bob Barr”
Glad to see I’m not alone on this. :)
Oops. Only PA 10th Congressional district.

It would have helped if you had posted the actual numbers:
McCain - 50%
Obama - 41%
(among likely voters)
This is VERY good news for Mr. McCain. I don’t think he can win this one without taking Pennsylvania, and the same goes for Obama: if he can’t win PA, he can’t win.
Many folks here might wrongly call PA a “blue state”, but it trends toward the purple. Of course, the major population centers of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are ‘rat strongholds, with sizable minority populations. But Pennsylvania is a big state with a “white middle”, so to speak. These are precisely the kind of folks Obama dissed in the primaries. And they’re going to pay him back for it...

Some numbers clarification.
270 EVs req’d to win. Bush win in 2004 with 286. So 16 can be lost from 2004 and still win. 17 lost makes the count 269-269 and the House would choose Obama.
As of now (red)New Mexico (5) and (red)Iowa (7) appear lost. This leaves a cushion of 4.
(red)Colorado is 9 and is shaky. (red)Nevada is 5 and is shaky (though Romney probably can secure it).
(blue)Pennsylvania is 21 electoral votes. (blue)Michigan is 17. Those are the two blue states talked of as possibly grabbable. Either would more than counter loss of (red)Virginia (13).
Unlike previous years, we need to see some polling in Montana, the Dakotas and the odd districts of Maine and Nebraska, just to be sure they are secure.
Beyond this, as a poster above said, if McCain wins Pennsylvania it will mean far reaching things for other states and election night will be an early one.
Best news Ive heard all day...thnx
The Dems puckers are tightning.
Please change this article title to clarify that this is not a PA poll but a 10th Dist.Pa poll.
Thank you.
Yeeesh Freepers, talk about demoralizing letdowns.
