PA all depends on the counties surrounding Philly. If Montgomery, Chester, & Delaware counties wake up and vote Romney, election is over. Ohio won’t matter. Those three counties can neutralize the fraud that will take place in Philadelphia.
Fraud in Philly is a given. There are 1600 polling places in the city and only enough republican poll watchers to cover about 1000 of them.
Pray the soccer moms in the suburbs have a lucid moment in the voting booths.

I am amazed at the number of Romney signs and lack of Obama signs in SE Montgomery County, PA. I was cracking up though when my 10 year old son said that a kid in his class is voting for Romney but his parents are voting for Obama. I have him telling kids all about Obama’s support of killing babies in the womb. Kids understand better than adults how insane that is. Maybe they can put their parents on the spot.

I'm afraid that's what's wrong with this study. In terms of registration in PA, the numbers as of right now are: Republican 3,126,257; Democrat 4,235,483; Non-affiliated 608,963; Other Party 489,764; So, in terms of the typical breakdown that's D/R/I = 50/37/13. +6 Dem is simply not realistic, and cutting it in half goes the wrong way, sad to say. Considered "active" as of 10/15/2012, our numbers are slightly better: D/R/I=50/38/12.

Based on 2008, which is the model most pollsters have been using, I don't think any model is realistic that has anything less than D+8 or even D+10.

Dems have a +12 registration advantage. Yes, we show up more, but +6 is simply unrealistic. I’d love for the Commonwealth to go blue, but I think Ohio is going to be the key...

Yes, sadly PA was invaded by New Yorkers a couple decades ago and they are spreading the errors of their ways everywhere.

BUT...don’t forget that PA DID vote in a republican Gov and senator in 2010.

I won’t forget. I have to take consolation for my beloved Commonwealth whenever I can. But midterm elections are different. And don’t you forget that McCain sent Palin to campaign in PA, said it was within reach, and then lost by 10+.

well then tell them how great they were for voting in 0.....more than half of non-Confederate state voters need their heads examined.

Socialists pure & simple!

“YOU NEED TO HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME”

Wow, people actually still talk like this? The most ridiculous phrase ever not included in a Democratic campaign.
