Generally sound analysis with respect to Western PA but ignores the reality that more than the Philadelphia Dem vote needs to be countered if McCain is to win PA–it’s the entire four county ring of Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and Cheter which has shifted to either full-blown Dem or socially-progressive, fiscally-conservative R which has been voting Dem in the last several elections. If Obama wins Philly, the surrounding counties, Allegheny and Center (Penn State), he doesn’t really need the rural areas. I completely agree with your points on Rendell who has been making nothing more than token appearances for Obama and whose head and heart are clearly with Hillary in 2012.
