I think even if Obama wins those two states (and he is certainly favored currently, based on polls), the vote total will be a lot closer than indicated. As said many times, it will be 2004-esque margins (Kerry won PA by 2.5 points).
And if Romney were to pull an upset in PA and/or OH, we will be talking about it for years to come.
Susquehanna Polling did a poll October 18 showing Romney up by 4%. RealClearPolitics is using its October 4 poll showing Obama ahead by 2%. In 2010, however, when the Republicans swept to power in the House due to disenchantment with Obama, primarily.

When alternative forms of energy become the best choice, they will be unstoppable. Until then, they only impoverish us.
^^And the steel industry will never come back to its former glory. That dream died decades ago.
