Pennsylvania





When will the people of Pennsylvania finally have the opportunity to meet and greet John McCain without putting up or raising thousands upon thousands of dollars? Where is the grass roots campaign of 2000 that worked so well, and had the passion which is lacking in 2008.

A PA County GOP Committee Chairman succinctly answered this question after he received an email that county McCain supporters were to donate $50.00 a piece in the hopes of reaching the $1,000 mark in order to buy "Yard Signs!!??" The Chairman went on to say that in larger counties where there are fat cats who can donate large sums, big money is lacking in smaller rural counties such as his own. This gentlemen stated that they relied on having yard signs to hand out at summer county events, and that his particular county yards would be void of John McCain signs due to the ludicrous request from the McCain Campaign.  read more »

Rasmussen Reports is out with some new state polls that bear ominous results for Democrats, and very positive news for John McCain. In both Michigan and Pennsylvania, states that have gone Democratic in recent elections, John McCain is leading the most likely Democrat nominee - Barack Obama - as well as Hillary Clinton. Here are the numbers

Pennsylvania

44% John McCain
43% Barack Obama

46% John McCain
44% Hillary Clinton

Michigan

44% John McCain
41% Barack Obama

46% John McCain
43% Hillary Clinton

These are considered reliable "blue" states for Democrats. The fact that John McCain is running strong in both, is a very ominous sign for Dems. If McCain could pick off either one of those states, he would be very difficult to defeat in November. McCain is clearly intending to compete all across the country. He will run very strong in New Hampshire, and has a shot in Connecticut and New Jersey as well. As the Dems keep beating on each other, John McCain is plodding along, building his organization and looking very presidential. Let's hope that picture is in place for several more months!
