Just for all those worried about PA

I won't give out numbers but I'll just say we had a very good day volunteer wise canvassing and phonebanking and voter registration today in Allentown. A very very very good day :-)

:)

an angry populace over the financial crisis, people realizing how important voting is, and people wanting to talk if they are undecided.

Lets put it this way. The demand for Obama stuff here is so great and we can't keep anything in our offices the new lit turns into a window sign. That lit is leaving our office for the window sign faster than anything.

Some won't consider it and I write them off, but out here in AZ, the repubs have no ground game for Is. The Dems are going after them and many, many want to talk.

I think that's a positive for our side; I usually leave thinking they lean Obama.

The backside when folded it out turns into a window sign.

.... are we talking like 700 billion or what? :)

would do well in Allentown.


Any idea how is is doing in the more rural areas?

In PA you only have to win 11 counties to win the state.

That being said Obama has 70 offices in the state. Kerry had 20.

We are fighting for every vote everywhere here.

Philly and Pgh are a good start. Don't forget Palin took over an Irish bar on Friday night, that can't help. Having been born and raised in Pgh, I don't people here to get too worried about Pa. It is still a solid union state especially the larger population centers. The only thing I hate is admitting that Dennis Miller is from there.

They should have sent her to an Irish bar in the suburbs. In alot of ways Philadelphia is more liberal than San Fran.

Philadelphia, Philadelphia's 5 subburban Counties, Lehigh and Northampton, and Pittsburg and its suburbs, and Harrisburg and you win the state. If you can carry the Scranton and Erie areas its a landslide.

Alot of people are from here. We made some pretty good quarterbacks too :-)

He's been there alot, and many Independents like him too. :thumbsup: for all you folks pounding the pavement!!

I'm not woried about PA. I wish there were 5 or 6 states more as solid as PA.

Our large populations being in close proximity to NY and NJ too sure Blue states with large populations doesn't hurt either :-)

...to be certain that it won't be stolen, it has to be a landslide big time.

Please go to http://www.VotePA.us and join us.

PLEASE DO THIS because no matter what happens November 4 if we don't fix these problems with how we vote, it will come back to bite us hard sooner or later. After the election we will work to get rid of these damn vote-eaters statewide and get voter-marked paper ballots and audits.

that nontheless has elected a repuke to US congress for about 8 years. It's too close for comfort, especially with those voting machines.

this time. (He hates McCain SOOO much.LOL)

Also my ex is voting Dem ( he likes Biden)...told my sis about Palin & the wolf hunting...she hadn't heard so hopefully she will rethink that.(We don't talk politics too much.... well,ok,not at all anymore.)

Sounds like Lanc Co has had a surge in Dem registrations this election. (Bout damn time.LOL)

:woohoo:

I haven't seen one McCaineMutiny signs or stickers anywhere around here. I've seen Obama lawn signs and a few stickers here and there. Joe Biden's visit to Kingston on Thursday was met by huge crowds. I feel confident that NE PA will solidly support the Obama.Biden ticket.

GO PA!!! :hi:

thinking??

My grandfather was the Mayor of Hamburg during the 80s a town over so I know that area. People there get into a pattern and they don't break it. The Dutch are very stubborn people.

...County seat of Westmoreland County (big suburban county of Pittsburgh, cited by USA Today 8/19 as one of the hottest swing counties in the country.)

I have been called things like A-hole before working for candidates, but such a blatantly racist comment screamed at me in the public street at Friday evening rush hour was way, way over the top.

Not.

...on a crowded street at rush hour (and nobody said anything to him about it) is pretty telling. I stood on the same corner with a Kerry sign on Friday rush hours four years ago and we had much more support for Kerry from passersby.

This time, in addition to the racist, I got a lot of boo, thumbs down, angry fists shaken at me, etc. And the Obama supporters were very quiet; polite little beep-beeps, smiles, etc. unlike the woo-hoos and people hanging out of windows we got for Kerry in 2004.

Biden came to Greensburg on Thursday, and he was great. But the gym where he spoke wasn't really full and the crowd (OK mostly older folks, but still) didn't seem to have the fire they had in 2004 when Kerry and Edwards came to town. Their appearances had different timing so maybe things will be different at other times this year.

Maybe it will improve as we get closer to the election and more wheels start coming off the Straight Talk Express, but right now Westmoreland is a big ????

I'm just sayin'... TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED.

donate 5 more dollars, send another e-mail to the editor, etc...

That way, I OWN those assholes and they end up working in opposition to their personal goals--and if you think I don't see the racism and hate in Arizona, think long and hard again...

That must've felt like a stab. Flashback from the 50's

Courage(french pronunciation)

I live near Reading, PA, which once had a socialist Mayor, and a bit later had resident neo-nazis.
I believe PA will go Democratic, and just to piss off any racists, the NAACP voter registration is underway in the Philly area, as well.

Just saying

Thanks! :)
