I don't think the Romney campaign are making this one up. Most of the time they are lying, but on this one they appear to be telling the truth.

You don't send a surrogate if you're really concerned. You send the candidate.

This is a standard GOTV push for a state with no early voting: hit the Dem corners to push up turnout.

1) Pittsburgh affects Youngstown
2) Downticket
3) Romney's there, so you might as well
4) Pittsburgh affects Youngstown

Who is still losing to Casey.

Pennsylvania: Obama 52%, Romney 44% (YouGov)

And I say if they are going to put a lot of money in PA we should answer in kind just to be on the safe side.

Then why not go to MA? Or CA? No early voting there either!

PA may be safe, but it's not CA or MA.

You still have to get your people out.

unless someone tricked me into mailing in my ballot.

Why not?

They are probablt as good as they're going to get everywhere else -- and if Bubba want to go, let him.

He's done the same for down ticket races in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Also going after Bachmann in MN.

The reading on Romney's flank attack at PA is this:

He doesn't think he can carry Ohio so he needs another state like PA with its 20 EV's versus OH's 18.

More realistically, they found out there is no air time available in all the other swing states so they're pumping money for ads into PA.

It's at best a Hail Mary pass or an act of desperation since he's lagging in every state that counts.

I'll go with the PPP last of this campaigns poll of Obama up 5 nationally and up at least 3-4 in every other swing state.

Not to worry!

For Carmona and even Murphy in Connecticut. Now for Casey. And to block any last minute attempt Mittens might have to try and make it close in PA.

Setting the record straight. Proving that they care.

We're happy to have him visit PA!
