But...but there are racists in Philadelphia that won't vote for Obama! Pennsylvania is McCain country!
I'm sorry that what I and countless Democrats in the area say doesn't phase you. I know you're usually one of the first people here to back up your analysis with sound logic so I'm saddened that I'm not living u pto your exceptional standards.
Sound logic = polls
Sound logic != anecdotal evidence
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, my anecdotal evidence isn't "I ran into two people on the street and they said they want McCain. Oh, they're Dems, too, so McCain will definitely win."
I was going around my precinct today to try to get some McCain - Palin signs up on lawns. I'll note that I was only given about twenty signs (reserved for me) because they were flying out of the office. Requests like you wouldn't believe. Anyway, I was going around and saw the former Democratic committeeman outside. I said hello and all and asked him if there was any chance that McCain could get his support (which I was expecting). He looked around and called me over. He told me he couldn't put up a sign because he's "involved politically" (he is a union official) but McCain was definitely getting his vote. He was very excited to see me going around and encouraged me to keep at it. He told me that he's personally working to get his neighbors to support McCain and to get signs up.
It was very encouraging. You guys will continue to brush it off as nothing but I know that these types (especially this guy who usually has an organization at the polls when he has a candidate he really cares about) not going for Obama means something.
Hey Phil what's your prediction for Bucks County, I know you know that area better than most on here, mind you that Bucks was a very accurate bellweather for the whole state in the 2000 and 2004 presidential election
Remember Obama got thumped against Hillary in the primary in Bucks he got a measly 37.39% of the vote.
If Mccain can win Bucks by more than 2% points I think he takes the state
