Bush backs off in Pa.

May be conceding state as race tightens in West

President Bush appears to be conceding some ground in the hard-fought battleground of Pennsylvania, as the 2004 race, which has been fought in only a small number of states, narrows even further.
Bush has visited the Keystone State 39 times - more than any other state - but a White House source said he does not plan to return soon and Pennsylvania was not on a list of the President's top 10 advertising targets last month.

Campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel called talk of Bush's pulling out of Pennsylvania "a rumor" and stressed that travel planning is day-to-day.

"The President has visited the state of Pennsylvania over 30 times and we have tens of thousands of volunteers," Stanzel said. "Our campaign has a real opportunity to be victorious there on Nov. 2."

4. This is like at the stock market.

Say it might happen, and it will. In such a fragile, unpredictable thing as mass opinion, even the false announcement of 'pulling out' may have the same effect as if it had actually happened.

Wait a while. As you know, poll results usually react to news with a delay of 2-3 days or so.

6. Bush is not winning PA.

I just don't see that scenario playing out. Bush is on the defensive in red states. He must really be suffering in the blue.

Boy, let THAT one start getting around...

I'm like the aroma of it, anyway.

Even so, NO TIME TO GET COMPLACENT. THIS IS NOT YET WON.

Harrisburg Pa. is still one of his top areas for tv advertisements. Maybe this too will drop off.
