Obama has chance for upset in PA

"Since the beginning of the year, 86,711 Republicans and independents have switched affiliations, and in just the last three weeks 34,104 new voters registered as Democrats. Significantly, 64 percent of those who changed parties were in the 12 largest counties — urban areas that have large African-American and educated white populations, demographics that are Obama's strength. "I think he has a chance to pull off an upset here," said Ray Owen, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pittsburgh."

3. What I am afraid of is...

the percentage of those Rs who switched their loyalties specifically to vote for Clinton ala Limbaugh.

9. He has a potential to do a Missouri squeaker

if the cities, college kids, and newly-registered Dems (including new voters and previously Indie or Repuke) deliver and the election fraud can be kept to a minimum... And the fraud part is key because we know how that goes (broken machines, machines not delivered to precincts on time, not enough machines or ballots, voter locations not opening on time, absentee ballot tampering, yadda yadda yadda).

11. The Rush Drones ...

have boosted the numbers there.

Hate to say it, but those numbers will be going for Hillary as instructed by Pigboy.

The night of Penn. will be hard to take for Obama supporters, as will Indiana.

Obama will take it back with N.C.
