Converting a Blue state to a swing state?

So you reject the way the media handles election reporting. You'll need to take that up with the media outlets, which reference 2008 results to determine red / blue states.

Another distortion of reality, whell. The HuffPo chart shows current polling data, nothing more. Pennsylvania elects Republicans in statewide elections all the time as governors, senators, etc. Some of them, like Santorum, are way out on the Right Wing fringe. "Blue states" don't do that.

As I said in an earlier post, I have a lot of direct experience with and in Pennsylvania, having lived within 10 miles of it in two different states and having worked, shopped and recreated in it for most of my life. I suspect you have no such firsthand experience.

Only someone like you could take polling data showing Obama ahead in a poll and try to turn it into a negative. Keep lobbing your partisan turds, whell. It's the only thing you're good at.

Yup, posted the wrong link. Fixed before you posted.

Not at all. I'm good at laughing at you and your condescension. And you've given me a lot to laugh at lately. Please continue.

Cute. Changed the link to one that you hoped would make your point better.

It doesn't. It's only an election result for one year, the year of an Obama landslide where he carried all the swing states and quite a few red states.

If you fixed it before I posted then how could I have posted your old link? My Top Secret Liberal Time Machine?

Look at the time of your edit and the time of my post. Both are at 9:51 (my time zone). That means I had to have begun composing before your edit.

That all you got? No response to my point?

Please continue.

Oh, I intend to.

No, my contentious friend. It means that I recognized that I posted the wrong link, and your response post and my correction hit at the same time. Both hit the forum at 12:51 PM EST. How could I have posted the correction before your challenge post?

Nothing much worth respond to.

"Fixed before you posted."

Nuff sed.

As a 48 year PA resident, I can vouch that PA is not easily categorized. On social issues, PA is mostly conservative except in large metro areas where it's more liberal. My hometown of Scranton is socially conservative but mostly democratic otherwise. Fiscal & social conservatives tend to suburban and rural areas. It's quite a hodgepodge we have here.
