GOP State Chair: Romney Doesnt Think He Can Win Pennsylvania
Rob Gleason, the Pennsylvania Republican State Party chair, says that Mitt Romney isnt optimistic about winning the state in November, reports The Morning Call.
Gleason recalled telling Mitt Romney at a fundraiser that they would win Pennsylvania, to which Romney replied, Really?
I dont think anyone thinks we can carry Pennsylvania, I dont think even Romney thinks we can win Pennsylvania; theyre not counting on it, but theyll play here, Gleason said. Were not asleep at the switch. Weve been working on this for four years. This is the big one.
Pennsylvania is considered a swing state, but recent polling showed President Obama ahead there by eight points. Pennsylvania hasnt picked a Republican for president since 1988.
