My guess is that, in both cases their internals showed weakness. My guess is that Obama's internals showed weakness in PA. Right now, McCain's polling in IN is lower than Obama's in PA.
Does McCain have a Trojan Horse here? Maybe....
I know Phil will have an orgasm when I say this, BUT I found an article on the 20 Wards in Philly that are white dominated and both the Dems are very concerned and the GOP still thinks they have a chance in about 10 of them. And I thought losing the 55th, 64th, and 66th Wards would be bad. The Ward leader in South Philly's 39th said in the article it went 71% for Kerry and he'd be happy with a break even. WOW! I hate to say it, but Phil's observations may very well prove accurate come November 4th. I even heard some of the historically Democratic and blue collar River Wards are also a problem for Obama as well. I thought maybe there'd be some problems in isolated parts of Mayfair, Fox Chase, Parkwood, and South Philly, but damn, it looks bad for us inside city limits although I heard the other parts of the city have made up for it and the suburbs might give us a wider margin before we go out into the "T".
Talk about a major demographic shift in only 4 years within one state. Look at the polls.
