Is Pennsylvania In Play?

Conservatives have a secret weapon in PA, now. It’s influence may not be felt thsi year. In the future, it is bound to show positive results. That weapon is Chris Stegal, the morning voice on Talk Radio 1210, WPH.

He moved form 710 KCMO last year to the Philly market, and oh how we miss him in Kansas City. You’ve probably heard him sub for Rusty Humpheries and others on national shows at times. Unless he’s changed, the guy is a staunch conservative, who is able articulate his positions well. I expect that he’s already gotten inside the heads of some PS liberals and done some damage.

Philadelphia is not.

But are they motivated?

[9YearLurker]

I’d say Hawaii, Massachusetts, California, Vermont, New York and Rhode Island are perfectly safe for Obama—and I’d be okay with that.

[CalTexan]

In my area of California, the Inland Empire and Orange county are more conservative.

I drove from Murrieta to Lake Elsinore yesterday and saw seven Romney/Ryan yard signs and none for Obama/Biden.

One veteran of the PA game says the state is the Zac Ephron of politics—a perpetual tease that will never come out (for the GOP in the general):

You are forgetting the Democratic Peoples Republic of Maryland, it’s little sister Delaware and that disgusting little speck called DC.

[9YearLurker]

I thought DC had already been conceded, but are DE and MD that far gone too?

I decidedly don’t put IL in there BTW, as I think it’s as likely as CT, NJ, etc., to go for Romney.

[luckystarmom]

Away from the cities it is more conservative.

[slorunner]

I’ve only been in Pittsburgh 4 1/2 years but I am amazed by the number of Romney signs this year.

2008 and 2010 it seemed all Dimrat but now Rep signs pretty well equal the mob.

For what it's worth............

i’m about 2 hours from the Burgh...we’re very rural...not one O sign anywhere around here....we’ve been pummeled with Tom Smith ads on the raio and tv...I was polled last week by the Smith campaign...I sure hope he beats that worthless piece of crap Casey...

[Cruising For Freedom]

how does that compare to 2008?

[GonzoII]

I like that trend!

[GonzoII]

Oh, I got the dates backwards..

But those last two look good!

[Political Junkie Too]

Romney needs to immediately expand his strategy to focus on rallying Senate candidates. Now is the time to roll out the coattails.

I was reviewing the last month's Rasmussen Senate polls, and it is a disaster. The entire GOP Senate campaign has totally collapsed.

I will be putting out a complete analysis later this weekend, but we're in worst-case scenario now and need an immediate turnaround strategy, or Romney will NOT have a united Congress to support him.

Thanks. Romney needs to campaign on building a national team of change for the future. His message must change to include asking Americans to give Romney the team he needs to turnaround Washington DC.

That’s a clown question, of course it’s in play.
