At this time we can only go with statistics, using the recognized polling data available. Propaganda can be useful to sooth ourselves from an eventuality that we may not like. Politico has three polls whereby President Obama is ahead of Governor Romney by more the 4 points in PA.
2012 Presidential Polls - 2012 Election - POLITICO.com

Ohio is a lot closer with President Obama leading by 2 to 3 points. I think the Romney campaign would rather be in the President's shoe. Early voting is also showing a big advantage for President Obama. Get out to vote spearheaded by Union and President's Obama campaign team will propably ensure a huge turnout.

In Nevada President Obama is also leading by 2 to 3 points.
2012 Presidential Polls - 2012 Election - POLITICO.com

While this is a very close election, both campaigns would rather be in President Obama's shoes than Governor Romney in the battle ground states.

I think relying only on the "bradley effect" will only delay the acceptance of what the actual data is showing.

Intrade today showed an increase in Govenor Romney's challenge. He went up 0.8% while President Obama went down 0.7%.















































President Obama leads Govenor Romney 63.3% to 37% in the bid for the POTUS on Intrade.

Really? I don't see a boom in western PA. I do see a lot of "Stop The War On Coal - FIRE OBAMA" signs. They are also getting ready to do more in the Westmorland county area on Drilling on PRIVATE LAND.

PA and Ohio will soon be boom towns, higher employment, higher land values if Obama doesn't stop it.

According to Nat Silver, Obama has a 94% chance of winning PA. PA isn't in play and any Rmoneyite is simply engaging in wishful thinking.

There are three areas of PA. There is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, which vote Democratic. In between those two places you might as well be in Alabama.

Nate's credibility is about to take a big dive.

Regardless of which way it goes if re-elected Obama will do what he does best... Spread the poverty from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia inner cities outward to the suburbs.

Geeze ... misery and hatred loves company. The suburbs will be forced to cut in on the drug trade.

Why would Obama want to stop it if he`s declared "war on coal"? BTW,my township of 1,500 residents is getting a check for $54,000 from the drillers and seeing idiotic signs put up by ignorant rednecks is the norm here.

So what do you call it when you call people rednecks? Is that a form of racism or do white collar working class have no rights because they are white?

Yep and another county getting a check for $89,000.00 and they are lowering property taxes, people are signing leases and will be paid for the drilling on private land. You don't even have to have a large amount of land. Of course that is unless Obama starts a war on drilling on private land effectively sending that money and jobs overseas.

Sounds like Texas to me. Same situation not too far down the road from Houston.
