JL, I also read that McCain "may" drop Pennysylvania as well, although I can't confirm. According to all the pundits, he supposedly has no choice but to go negative.
If he quits Pennsylvania, the election is OVER.
Most of Obama's adds here have been focused on registering new voters, and a record number of registrations are in the books. PA's deadline for voter registration is tomorrow. Barring something unusual, PA should be a comfortable win for Obama.
You may be right. Look at Muhlenberg College Daily Poll, and notice the trend:
Oct. 3 51 39
Oct. 2 50 40 2% 8%
Oct. 1 50 41 2% 7%
Sept. 30 48 41 3% 8%
Sept. 29 49 41 3% 7%
Sept. 28 49 42 2% 7%
Sept. 27 48 42 2% 8%
Sept. 26 47 42 2% 9%
Sept. 25 47 43 2% 8%
Really, Pennsylvania/Minnesota are McCain's two offensive strikes in a defensive season, and one seems to be blunted and the other a pipedream.*
*=Hell, Minnesota last went GOP in 1972, and went blue in friggin 1980/1984/1988.
