Could be he's hoping to generate some coattails.  There are a few House races in the Philly area that he could have an effect on.

Those seats are basically decided. The Dems don't have to worry about the 7th, 8th or 13th (and the 1st and 2nd are obviously two of the safest Dem seats in the nation). The only GOP seat in the area is PA 6 and the Dems are not getting it with their current candidate.

Eh I wouldn't count Roggio out just yet.  Registration of democrats outnumbers republicans in the district.  I don't have the polls in front of me, but while Roggio is way behind in the polls, he did make up significant ground between the first and second polls.

I tried to look at this from as many angles as possible.  My opinion... there is nothing to read out of this.  He is here because he can afford to be.  The only thing that would qualify as an answer at this point is if some massive scandal that we don't know of is about to break, in which case, there is no point in speculating right now.

I want to think there is a chance we might get back into this thing, but I'm just not seeing it.  Something would have to happen in the next  to totally change the dynamics of this race.  McCain has run a terrible campaign.  He turned the wrong way around every corner.

boy its good to see one republican pennsylvanian not making too much out of Obama's PA tour...
