Robert Gibbs: Romney in Pennsylvania is 'desperate'
Politico ^ | November 2, 2012 | By KEVIN ROBILLARD

Robert Gibbs, a top adviser to President Barack Obama’s reelection effort, said Friday that visits to Pennsylvania by the GOP ticket are a sign Republicans are getting “desperate.”

“I think it means the Romney-Ryan campaign is desperate to figure out how to win this race outside of the states that they’ve been contesting it in for 15 months,” Gibbs said on CBS’ “This Morning.” “I think that’s all Pennsylvania is for the Romney-Ryan campaign. Look, John McCain spent the last weekend of 2008 in Pennsylvania in a desperate attempt to do this as well.

On the other hand, Gibbs said Obama’s visits to Wisconsin — a safe state on all the paths to victory suggested by the Obama team — were just an insurance measure.

“We want to lock it in,” Gibbs said, adding the president will present his case “one last time.” Other Obama aides have implied the state was safe until GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney selected Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.

I like it when democrats arrogantly sneer about how the voters of a given state are in their pocket. I’m sure that plays well with independents and undecideds.

Clinton in Minnesota Biden in Pa are a show of desperation

Letting Biden campaign anywhere is an act of desperation and malignant stupidity.
