Chris? Pat? I'm Sure You Disagree....

Has Pennsylvania ever been in play?



Of course not.

Yet we've been told that it is by all of MSNBC since that Pantsuit Warrior started spending time there.

What will Chris Matthews do if Pennsaylvanians aren't as racist as he thinks they are?

What will Pat Buchanan do if they aren't as racist as he is?

Political Wire:

Obama Closing Deal in Pennsylvania

Sen. Barack Obama "has nearly closed the deal in Pennsylvania, as anxiety over the economy overcomes lingering concerns about his inexperience and qualms about his race, according to more than three dozen political operatives, pollsters and analysts across the state," the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "A surge in Democratic voter registration is also helping."

Nonetheless, Politico says "the McCain campaign continues to signal it intends to contest the state and its 21 electoral votes to the end. It is a high-risk, high-return endeavor: Pennsylvania represents a costly gambit, one that siphons resources from must-win states such as Ohio and Florida, but a win here would enable McCain to lose a few other states that George W. Bush carried and still capture the White House."

Time notes the Clintons will campaign with the Bidens in Scranton, PA later today.
