Trust me, 20-25k in downtown pittsburgh at the civic ARENA in this “superstar” campaign is not a good showing. The numbers were not 5,000 for Palin, double it and you have reality. Southside is a trolly ride, or 15 min walk, Arena is 5 minutes from town. You are comparing apples and oranges.
Here are the numbers, Hillary got 1.2 Million votes, Fauxbama will not get about 30% of those votes, or about 360,000 votes. That doesn’t even get into the dems who didn’t vote in the primary but will cross the isle for mcCain. The suburban philly counties are break even, last time Kerry had them by 100k. Even if Fauxbama gets another 100,000 votes out of Philly that Kerry managed, he still loses, hes only countered the suburbs hes lost.
Fauxbamas support in PA is not nearly what Kerry’s was, and kerry barely held on. Fauxbama will not only lose PA, he’s going to lose it by more than Kerry or Gore won it. Not only this, but the problems that Fauxbama has in PA are not unique to PA, he’s got the same problem in the other rust belt states, and will lose at least 1 more of them that Kerry had.
