Romney’s Pennsylvania volunteers: It's for real

Whether things play out that way on Tuesday — and whether the Romney camp’s play for the state was in fact a decision made in light of the candidate’s rising momentum after the first debate — remains to be seen. Democrats, naturally, had a different take. Late Sunday, just as Romney touched down in the state, the Obama campaign emailed out to the press a report that Republicans had only invested money in advertising in the Keystone State because the airwaves elsewhere in the country were already saturated. But if early reports from volunteers on the rally’s size were any indication, the event could be one of Romney’s largest to date on the campaign trail. “When you get set up there, you’ll see 30,000 people, the governor, lieutenant governor,” said Pidge Smith, a 65-year-old retiree and longtime volunteer from Nackamixon Township who was seated next to Mannherz at the back of the bus. “It’s 100 percent,” she adde

It is real. Obama will 4 of 67 counties in Pa. I only hope the 63 counties Romney wins is enough to offset Philadelphia, which will give 83% of their vote to Obama.

I didn't even know she was Romney supporter. Great, the more the merrier. Maybe she can get throught to Danny Devito.

"We are winning. 1980’s syle"

So many keep referring to 1980. A once-in-a-generation situation. I just don't see it. Obama's campaigm team isn't as inept as Carter's was, nor are they against voter fraud.

Okay. This is driving me crazy. What’s the pic of the fishing boat about? On a positive note, I was driving on Hwy 395 last weekend just outside Carson City. I came up to a Toyota Prius in the slow lane that had a bumper sticker that said “Women for Mitt”. One time a few years ago, I came up to a Prius that had an American flag on the bumper sticker. Just as I was feeling hopeful, I got close enough to read “These Colors Don’t Rule the World”. Of course I flipped them off as I went by.

Locally here in central PA, I can tell you the push is on to get out the vote in ways I have not seen since 2004.

The Tea Party, NRA, Pro-Life and other groups are all organizing the people, making calls and working very hard to offset the Philly vote.

We have a chance to turn PA red......but it will not happen without hard work and every conservative showing up on election day!

I fear for Tom Smith at this point a month ago, and since then, I volunteered for yard signs and gave a substantial donation. Can’t find an office to get the signs and his campaign never sent them.

Around here, Smith signs abound, often in clusters. Yesterday I saw one group of about 25 signs no more than a few feet apart, with a single Romney sign in the middle. THAT’S why you can’t get a sign.

Check out the crowd!

The reverse of 2008. Remember Zero's Nuremburg rallies, and how discouraging that was? This will tip more undecided's to our side, keep Obots at home, and bring in the I-picked-the-winner! crowd.
