Wishful thinking on McCain's part. I'm in northern PA, which is solidly 
republican, so I don't hear much, but RealClearPolitics still has Obama 
ahead by 7.6 points (with 51.3%...having over 50% is more important than 
the spread, I've heard some pollsters say). For some reason, McCain has 
been visiting the areas of PA that already support him. He's sent Palin 
to Philadelphia (overwhelmingly Dem), but I haven't seen that he's been 
there. He's seriously underestimating the voting power of the 
Philadelphia metro area...it has a good portion of the state's 
population and is very strongly Democrat. All the rural McCain 
supporters wouldn't fill one Philly suburb.

The day before the election in 2004, Kerry polled 0.9 points ahead of 
Bush, but ended up winning PA by 2.5 points. With Obama polling 7.6 
points ahead...I don't think he has to worry.
