This may sound scary to some - does it mean Obama is losing in states he thought he had all locked up? (please read the whole diary before you go full ballistic on me)
The full story is here
The outside groups supporting Mitt Romney have a shared sense that Obama’s need to make sure he protects Ohio leaves other states on his flank potentially vulnerable.
According to news accounts and a Republican source familiar with the outside group activity, Americans for Job Security went up with TV ads in Pennsylvania over the weekend, and Restore Our Future goes on the air there Tuesday.
And now both this source and Karl Rove speaking on Fox News Monday evening suggest American Crossroads just might also go on the Keystone State TV airwaves as early as Wednesday.
Americans for Prosperity and Americans for Job Security are both on the air on Minnesota TV.
And the main Restore Our Future has gone on the air in Michigan, where they might also be joined by American Crossroads.
The storm has scrambled everything, including TV ad strategies, but there is no doubt that if the public polls are even close to correct, all these end-game ad buys are going to put some resource pressure on Chicago.
This might cause a clutching the pearls moment for some - but ......keep in mind that they are buying time on Minnesota TV because it bleeds over into Wisconsin, but what about Pennsylvania?
So, you have that little piece of information tucked away in your brain. Now, if you can remember back in 08 - McCain took a swing at Penn towards the end of 08 as a last ditch effort to try and cobble together a win because he knew he was losing.
Now look at this little tidbit of information from a NYTimes article published just a few days ago:
The Romney team is mindful that the new enthusiasm has not opened any new paths to winning 270 electoral votes. The campaign continues to keep an eye on trying to make a late run at Pennsylvania, advisers said, but it remains more of a last-ditch option.
I'm just reading the tea leaves ;)
