Oh come on, J.J.'s comment was in JUNE, a lot of places were still up in the air, especially suburbs. I hate this stupid after-the-fact crap, it's so childish.
It's a little childish--and I've generally avoided piling on J.J. for several months--but it also shows the danger of making really bold, unsupported predictions in the face of conflicting evidence that includes 15+ years of Democratic trending and voting plus the sharp unpopularity of the incumbent party. If the Philly suburbs were "iffy", then McCain is winning Pennsylvania widely (given Obama's known weaknesses out west) and the country by a sizable margin. That wasn't particularly reasonable in June. 2010 is coming up and soon we'll be in another cycle of people arguing their guts and their wish lists for competitiveness and refusing to take no for an answer.
If Obama had won the suburbs of Philly narrowly, then that would be something, but this is different.
