Pennsylvania has been a target for the GOP in at least the last 4 elections. It's been a "close but not quite" state - fool's gold, some have called it.

It appears that the GOP can find up to 48-49% of the vote in PA fairly easily, as evidenced by Bush's showing in the state in 2004. But getting to that 50% mark has proven very difficult for a long time.

My question is open to anyone, but specifically directed at those of you who live in Pennsylvania. In your opinion, what specific measures should the GOP take in order to find that additional 1-2% of the vote, and turn the Keystone State into fertile ground for them?

Does no-one in this thread realise that PA was basically tied for the tipping point state? It's not that unusually inelastic, the main reason the GOP hasn't won it in the last 20 years is that they haven't won nationally by more than 3 points in the last 20 years.
