I haven't seen many McCain ads in PA, but Obama has been on 24/7, just like he was in the primary against Hillary and it made no difference. Hillary killed him. (oops-can't say kill, can we).

I saw a new McCain ad with him in an easy chair, talking all warm and fuzzy about how much he loved America and what he wanted to do in broad terms to improve America. He had a relaxed, confident air about him. Obama's ads have been hit pieces as of late, getting more negative by the day (McCain taking away Medicare, etc.).

I was thinking McCain could pick off some Jews in PA by questioning O's support for Israel or some Reagan Catholic Democrats by pointing out O's extreme views on abortion, but maybe he won't even have to do that. Maybe he can just stay positive from here on out to make sure he doesn't alienate the Indies.

The "bitter clingers" remarks really turned off a lot of people and also Murtha's repeated remarks that western PA is racist and redneck are also raising ire.

I agree. If we hold VA, it may come down to CO. We need OH and NC and FL, of course. But of those, I have been most worried about VA and CO. Mucho influx of libs, it seems.

Remember that Kerry won PA by only 2.5% in 2004. PA is not as blue as it’s made out to be.

Don’t worry about VA, Mason Dixon who is particular good at polling Maryland and Virginia, has McCain up by 2.

McCain could almost keep Palin in CO and NV every other day with the other days in OH and PA from now until the election. McCain could take VA, FL, OH.

Can someone explain this to me? Fox says that 40% of 610 votes in Cincinnati are fraudulent. One has the address as “middle of the river”. Can't those that obvious be thrown out?

The piece on Fox says an investigation won't be under way until summer of 2009. That will be worthless. Polls or real voters are worthless if fraud is still counted

Mine too. We came to Virginia as Scots Irish and moved down to South Carolina after the war.

I’d hate to think of the sacrifices for nothing.

No kidding!!!?? My people are all Scotch-Irish! Last name was McDonough. Settled in Ohio.

What was the last name of your ancestor? Too cool.

Murtha told me you were racist.

Hi! I know some people @ Smith Mt. Lake. Beautiful area.

I agree...more McCain/Palin signs around here. Tons more between Roanoke and 50 miles west to Pulaski Do. where I reside.

I listened to Quinn and Rose too. If these internals are half-right (meaning that yes, McCain has PA and OH in his sights) and the GOP wins this thing, which will come as a shock to many, many, people, can you imagine the main streamers. It will be a STOLEN election for sure
*****************************
The reason they will scream “stolen” is because it is the only way THEY know how to win an election...so if WE win...how did we do it if we didn’t cheat, right?

I’m not believing McCain’s up 15 in Pennsylvania. If their internals were showing that then they wouldn’t be stumping the state as hard as they are. They’d be camping out in Missouri and Ohio.

Sure they would they need to make sure they all vote because the philly cheats will stuff the ballots by at least 10% :-)

I love that area. My dad is from Bassett, and my oldest brother and several aunts and uncles live in or around Franklin County. Good people up there.

That’s a really good idea.

I’d love to see Sarah sneak an afternoon in Michigan just to see what happens. It can be in the part of the state that overlaps with the Toledo area...

Buchanan

John Buchanan was a fighter in the War and was given 715 acres along the James River for it.

This is really neat, our ancestors probably fought together or something!

The caller said 36 for Obama.

Just reporting what I heard. Check out the thread I posted, others were repeating those numbers after hearing Carl.
