I wouldn’t be so quick to discount Mr. Kaufman’s analysis regarding Pennsylvania. The thing that tips PA in McCain’s favor is John Murtha. Murtha’s behavior regarding the Haditha Marines and his recent comments painting portions of the state as “redneck” and “racist” give people a reason to vote against him, and by a larger extension, it gives people a reason to reconsider Obama. Combine with this Obama’s comments where he painted people in Pennsylvania VERY negatively, and you have yourself a recipe for even people who vote Democrat usually a reason to vote against Obama or stay home. In either case, it helps McCain. I’m with Mr. Kaufman’s analysis and his conclusion for who wins PA next Tuesday.
