[SuperTrouper]

1. I think McCain will abandon Pennsylvania very soon.

[hogwyld]

2. Well, he does need to concentrate his resources

into states he can win like AZ and UT.

[SuperTrouper]

3. and ND is in danger of falling to Obama's spell

[Barack_America]

7. The McCain TV ads here are all but gone.

Only Obama ads left. And most of those are really hammering McCain's healthcare plan.

[PA Democrat]

9. Hey, we'll take one for the country and continue to endure McCain's obnoxious ads

if it means he has less money to spend elsewhere. McCain has been bombarding PA with negative ads and......

THEY'RE NOT WORKING!

So I say, keep wasting your money in PA, McCain. We are happy to ignore your ads.

4. Why can't Obama close the deal in this battleground state???

Maybe he could get up his lead to 50 percentage points higher than McLame, maybe then the M$M will admit that he's going to win this state!
:silly:

5. He is in a situation now where he probably can't

Even if he knows he is going to get beat in PA, this late in the game I would think he has to at least put up a modest pretense of working that state.

6. McCain will probably have to shift his PA effort into trying to maintain VA.

Otherwise, it will be lost for sure.

Nevertheless, most of the MSM will still say it's "too close to call."

8. Someone please explain to me how PA is still a battleground state?

How many double digit leads does the state have to produce for the MSM to understand that it's not" in play!"

10. It's still a battleground because there are working class whites in PA

And the MSM hates to throw away narratives, especially racially charged ones like the "Obama can't win over working class whites. Is this a race issue or is Obama just elitist?" narrative.

[Bullet1987]

11. They don't want to make a projection...

which is what they'd be doing if they put PA in Obama's column...so they continue to call it a toss-up when it really isn't.
