1. this means that PA is still in play and internal polls are saying a different story

[VeraAgnes]

2. I hope Bill Clinton is with him.

I suspect the Clintons, Obama and Biden will barnstorm Pa., Ohio and W Va and Va. over the final days of this campaign. What a terrific team to GOTV.

9. Or the Kerrys - Teresa is very respected in Pittsburgh

[thunder rising]

4. Nah, just to settle the story down. This is no big deal.

[GrizzlyMan]

5. I think maybe you're jumping to conclusions

[Zynx]

6. Calm thyself. He's just playing it safe.

[terrya]

10. Yes. electoral-vote.com has Pennsylvania as "Strong Democratic" for a couple of weeks now.

And I really don't think that's going to change.

7. No it doesn't

It means they want big turnout there for all the Dem candidates.

There are no such thing as "internals" that show something different from 100% of the public polls. It's just a preposterous and unscientific notion to believe that there are. It's stupid, even. Polling methodologies are public and well-established. Believing that "internals" have some magical data capacity is just foolish.

8. No, it's a GOTV tour of the big cities - the closing week plan for a long time

I doubt you'll be seeing Obama in Podunk this week.

[MoJoWorkin]

12. Not necessarily. Do you HAVE to put a negative spin on everything?

Touching base in a state, and shoring it up is what needs to be done---he is leaving NOTHING to chance.

Why are McCain AND Palin spending today in IA?. That is the stupefying question.

McCain was in Albuquerque,NM earlier today and could only draw a 1000 people at best. Watch the crowd tonite when the O train rolls into the same town.

The McFailin campaign is flailing, erratic, without a plan, for sure.

[Coexist]

13. I don't think so, I think he wants to shore up support one last time

since the pols there have been practically begging him on national tv.

[endthewar]

14. Good grief...

Where you go, the drama must follow. :eyes:

3. Do you have any additional info on this? My cousin lives in Pgh. and

would LOVE to see him! I hate to just send her a statement saying Obama's going to be there at 3 on Monday.

[AlinPA]

15. I got the invitation in an email from Obama's campaign. This link should

help.
