President Obama has jumped to a double-digit lead over Mitt Romney in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Pennsylvania shows Obama with 51% of the vote to Romney’s 39%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and seven percent (7%) remain undecided.

BM’d; coming back to this thread in the morning.
Aren’t these the same guys whom Obama insulted as “clingin’ to the guns and religion..” How much more shameless can you get to support this ass?
Oh, and to the conservatives in Pennsylvania: May I suggest a move to Texas? Because if obastard is re-elected, servitude and starvation are just the start. It gets worse from there, and the United States won’t survive. Texas MIGHT.
/someone planning an exit from CA to TX...
totally agree.
after they re-elected Murtha over that outstanding Naval Officer, I have nothing but utter disdain for PA.
Spend a weekend at Rehoboth Beach on summer and you can start to understand why PA has to be the fattest, redneck, uneducated, disgusting state in the Nation.
Exactly right. If Mitt wins PA, it will be a GOP national wave that brings the state along, not any money.
He needs his resources for VA, OH, and FL. Then pick up one state (CO or NH or NV or IA).
I smell a rat...a democ-rat.
According to Wiki.....Hispanic population has risen by 82.6% between 2000 and 2010. Not a good trend for the GOP.
Oh and by the way genius, Rehoboth is in Delaware !
That is the one thing they are not good at.
To them, 1.6 trillion is smaller than 160 billion......
I wonder about that. Can Texas support itself, food wise?
Yes, that is the case.
There isn’t much we can do about it, we are outnumbered by stupid as far as the eye can see.
More Americans are loving the idea of a Federal “parent” taking care of you, even some Republicans like this idea. Why the surprise when someone promising more wins? Freemen can overcome Obama, unfortunately freemen cannot overcome the electorate who vote for public servants like Obama.
The state’s population has been in decline because college graduates leave the state before they enter the workforce. I think just a tiny percentage of college graduates who could afford to leave the state chose to stay in the last 20 years or so. In the meantime hispanics and liberals from NY/NJ move in to buy up cheap, unwanted housing and the indigenous population gets older and reliant on government checks.
The “blue-collar Reagan Democrat” is a big constituency here, but they’re Democrats not because of liberal social policy but because they hate rich people. They would swing vote for someone like Paul Ryan, a middle-class Catholic, but Ryan’s sudden disappearance from almost all news coverage probably pushed Romney’s numbers down. Romney is the textbook picture of the caricature of a Republican that these voters have always despised, the same kind of wealthy business tycoon who they grew up hearing gunned down striking miners 100 years ago and that sort of thing.
As for the blacks in Philly, other minorities, and the young, middle-to-upper class and very liberal whites in the suburbs, I haven’t heard of one who’s going to change their vote. They’re still just as in love with Obama as they’ve always been. The educated types will spew the perfectly memorized left-wing memes they were taught in college as reason to vote for Obama, chief among them the idea that health care, education, housing, food, etc. “should” be free for everyone.
They already did! Remember Fast Eddie Rendell?
I love how the libs tag 2009 to Bush - Stimulus and all. They are sick Fs.
They called 500 likely voters.
Do they list the R/D/| split?
I do, but they learned nothing, and should they assist in re-electing Obama, much, much worse will come their way.
And they will deserve it.
“Ann Romney’s near-tears performances on TV last week may reflect scary internal polls”
I missed this. She was near tears? This would have been all over the MSN to “prove” Romeny was toast. I don’t buy it.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
I don’t see how unless it is a massive blowout.

Do you think I believe a word that comes out of Messina’s mouth? If he was anything other than a scumbag liar, he wouldn’t be part of the Obama campaign.
PA is not in play this election and never has been, the title is misleading, it’s is not a swing state this time around.

Romney will win PA.
just one factor... lots of Catholics there.
and Obama is down 27% with Catholics, from 2008.
Obama is down were EVERY group.
even NARAL’s study show WOMEN abandoning Obama...
WOOOSH....McCain and The Undocumented One, quick back to D.C. for the big 08 Bailout under Bush.
Two Big govt. faction parties, at war with one another, seeking who they may devour.
Philly has always been dark blue. The idiots are the enviro-conscious white upper middle class folks in places like Bucks County that used to vote GOP but are now card carrying democrats. I used to live there so I know what I’m talking about.
“Do they list the R/D/| split?”
Not for people who are not members. Have to log on as a member to get to more specifics. Membership costs money.
Well, right now it is listed a battleground state.
A little disheartening, but not unexpected. As another FReeper pointed out, PA is the big tease for GOP presidential candidates. It always seems like “this year will be different”, but it never quite gets there.
Still, the national polls are close and the states Romney has to have are all still winnable. Pennsylvania would have been nice, and a real thorn in Obama’s side, but Romney can win without it.
PA was carried by Obama by over 10% in 08. This is low on the immediate attack plan, but not out of the question. The difference was 600K votes.

Yes and they vote in alphbetiical order at a 99.9 percent level. I would love to have someone plant wireless cameras in the polling places to see what happens after they close.
Believe me, I will dance a jig in the street if PA goes for Romney/Ryan. But I would never tell the RNC to spend money there... all things considered.
Because he is smart enough to understand that WI is in play. He is not spending much time in Il, NY, VT...
I don’t think Mitt could win in Pa but he has a better chance being seen by some out of work coal miner there than where he spent tis weekend. Mitt is not spending enough time in swing states and its going to hurt him.
In 2010, Republicans took back five congressional seats from Democrats, elected a Republican Governor, and elected a strong conservative U.S. Senator, Pat Toomey. The PA General Assembly is GOP controlled. Republicans hold a 30-20 majority in the Senate, and a 112-90 majority in the House.
So PA is not like Illinois - not by a long shot. But in presidential years, the urban voters get really revved up and overcome the suburban and rural voters. Bush lost PA by only 4 pts. in 2004.
If Obama weren’t half black, it would be a lot closer.
Sorry Bucks County Pa.We get the Philly and area news.
Flop Philthy in Texas and you would find the body in the Rio Grande.
and Obama is down 27% with Catholics, from 2008.
The older ones are "JFK Catholics." They've been in love with the Democrat party ever since JFK's campaign. They're not persuadable.
As far as young Catholics, it's difficult to find any non-immigrant white people who are young and actively religious.
I wonder if anyone happened to see this article about Montgomery Co PA.

There are few "rural" Democrats in PA.
Johnstown isn't rural. That's Big Labor Country. Call them bitter-clingers and they don't care.
There is only one "swing" area in PA. That is the old coal region around Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. That is largely ethnic Catholic, there are some traditional morality people there who have gone for Santorum and Toomey.
The reason PA has turned is because of the Philadelphia suburbs, which used to be Republican territory. Those five highly populated counties turned in the early nineties and have not turned back.

Romney/Ryan 2012
I wonder about that. Can Texas support itself, food wise?

Yep all those big old steers don’t come from milk farms in minnesota. Texas has everything except a complete wall around it.
Toomey won by a tiny margin, 1 or 2 points. That race is probably the best template for Obama/Romney this year, since it was a federal position. 2010 was an off-year election where Tea Party activity surely gave the Republicans an extra 5-10 points. That margin of victory will be pulled down in a presidential year where turnout of the politically ignorant will go way up. If he had to run his race again, Toomey would lose in 2012 by more points than he won in 2010.
Thank you. So many idiots posting here who know nothing about PA. This isn’t Kali, or even Illinois.
