I witnessed a Romney headquarters in Pennsylvania last night being 'downsized.'

There were three bored looking older volunteers in the phone bank area. Looked like sixteen chairs/phones, no activity whatsoever.

Behind them were younger, well dressed people packing boxes, removing computers. Clearly they were out of state operatives.

GOODBYE, LOSERS!

Obama Wins Pennsylvania!

The reason I say 'downsized' is because I believe the storefront will stay. There are signs in the window for other candidates.

But, the people packing things in the back had the air of national party operatives.

Well, technically Simpson did, but he wasn't left with much of a choice after the PASC threw the case back at him with requirements.

There were Romney ads on PA stations. They stopped about a month ago. Nothing but ads for state candidates now.

Sure such an agreement might be illegal but when has something being illegal ever stopped the republicans?
