Soult, I don't think it's that we haven't read your posts...it's (at least for me) that I think you're being optimistic.
I'd be interested to see how McCain informs voters that his VP is pro-choice without annoying religious conservatives. I'd also totally be impressed by a "not unfriendly to workers" VP taking Iowa from like Obama +5 to solid McCain.
But, whatever you guys say. He's from your state. I evidently do not understand the majic.
FWIW:
Quinnipiac University Poll/
June 18, 2008 – page 4
PennsylvaniaObama tops McCain 57 – 34 percent with women as men go 47 percent for McCain to 45 percent for Obama. Obama leads 61 – 33 percent among voters 18 to 34 years old, 51 – 41 percent among voters 35 to 54 and 48 – 43 percent with voters over 55. The Democrat inches ahead 47 – 44 percent among white voters and leads among black voters 95 – 1 percent.
Obama gets a 54 – 25 percent favorability, to 43 – 33 percent for McCain.
Nineteen percent of the people who voted for Bush in 2004 now back Obama, while 24 percent of the voters who supported Clinton in the primaries now back McCain.
McCain’s age will not affect their vote, 73 percent say, while 24 percent say they are less likely to vote for him because of his age. Obama’s race will not affect their vote, 88 percent say.
A total of 87 percent of Pennsylvania likely voters say the vice presidential candidate is “very important” or “somewhat” important in their November vote. But looking at some choices, voters say:
• 25 – 16 percent that they would be less likely to vote Democratic if Gov. Ed Rendell is on the ticket, while 56 percent say it won’t make a difference;
•
Split 18 – 18 percent on whether they would be more likely to vote for McCain if he is
running with Tom Ridge, while 62 percent say it doesn’t make a difference.
