Got a Romney ad in the mail to remind me that military might and VA jobs are on the line. It features a picture of the mothballed USS Wisconsin with a static display of what looks like a Blue Angel on the deck and a Clipper Ship. Showing a static display of war relics seems not well thought through to push Naval Power. Am I missing the point? Is it that there will be more museum pieces?

Think it's a positive for the president. Won't be much but anything is good at this point.

New Hampshire is a toss up. Republicans think they can win PA all of the sudden. Seems more of a last minute scramble to me.


Numbers are closing in PA. It is closer then anyone should have expected. Romney's advisors are right to put the hammer down in PA if there is any bit of a chance. Good move. Will PA fall republican? Doubtful, but you never really know in this world.


I just don't buy it. Dems have over a million more registered voters in the state.

One of the guys on National Review said there's two ways to look at Romney in PA - the optimistic view: They feel like they have Ohio, the pessimistic view: They feel like they've lost Ohio and are making a push for a surprisingly soft looking PA.

just voted absentee. Can't Light or Power SAYS they'll have juice on by Tuesday. I've had to shift out-of-town work stuff into next week.

Feels good, mang. Registrar's office is open Sat. AM here; might do it again tomorrow. 8-)

The Philly burbs tend to be the difference maker when it comes to PA voting, despite the larger Democratic registration numbers statewide, and Romney is the type of Republican (moderate) that has done well in the Philly burbs in the past. It will be tougher though, because the Republican registration advantage in the area has pretty much disappeared.

Seems like the national numbers have shifted a point or so toward Obama in the past week. If this is real enough to last till Tuesday, then he'll probably win the popular vote (narrowly) and EC (comfortably) as Romney needs the late deciding voters to back him in a bunch of close states to win. If it's an ephemeral Sandy bump, then today should be about as good as it gets, as the story shifts back to the broader campaign (and the lingering Sandy stories are about how slow progress is/finding bodies on Staten Island/etc.).

"lingering stories", ffs - desperation always reads sooooo sweaty and creepy.

Ask anyone in NYC and they'll maybe bitch about power not being on below 30th street, but I'd wager any legit inquiries would find the feeling about gov't response is pretty positive. Staten Islanders probably have a reason to complain - but they complain a lot anyway.

Meanwhile, in CT at least, the utilities - hey, they're run by job-creating business wizards, like Linda McMahon! - have comprehensively fucked up yet again.

Really, really, really want Fatty to go to the rally in Yardley on Sunday evening and intro Mitt. Just across the Route 1 bridge from Trenton, big guy. You can do it.
