I just don't get it.
We have Obama's schedule for the last four days.
And no rally in PA.
Today, Obama campaigns in Iowa and Indiana
On Saturday, he travels to Nevada (Henderson), Colorado (Pueblo), and Missouri (Springfield).
On Sunday, it’s an entire day in Ohio (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati).
And on Monday, per the New York Times, Obama hits Florida (Jacksonville), North Carolina, and Virginia (Manassas).

McCain will go to PA, once again, on Saturday. Palin spends so much time there she should pay property taxes.
Polls in PA show that McPalin's lies are having some effect. Now add the new RNC Wright ad to that and the fact that PA does have racist areas. (In other words: Murtha is right).
And no I'm not talking about the M-D poll.
Obama lost ground even in the Muhlenberg tracker.
Muhlenberg 10/31 Pennsylvania: Obama 53 (-1) McCain 43 (+2)

Yesterday RCP changed PA from solid Obama to leaning Obama.

OK you will say I take a 10 point lead anytime. But who really believes that Obama can win PA by that much?
Clinton won PA by 9% in 1992 (with Perot getting 18%)
In 1996 he won by 9% with Perot getting 8%.
Gore won by 3%.
Kerry by 2.5%.
And Obama will win it by 10 or more? Hello?
It's more likely that his real support is much less than these double digit polls suggest so any tightening in those polls brings Obama closer to, well, a close election. And you know what that means in a state without paper ballots, right?
Maybe I'm needlessly worried. But I just can't see why Obama is so damn confident he will win PA.
At least he should send Bill and Hillary there.
Disagree?
p.s. no I'm not a concerned troll. But I'm concerned nevertheless.
