Everybody and their brother has sent me either the Ace link or the Daily Kos post claiming that Obama’s internal polls have their guy only up by 2 percent in Pennsylvania. I’ve said that McCain has been given the material to win Pennsylvania — material – “spread the wealth around”, “no coal plants”, Murtha alternately calling his constituents “racists” and “rednecks,” the bitter small-town clinger comment, etc. — but in the absence of any corroborating evidence, I’m not putting too much stock in this report. It’s very possible that internals of both camps show the race closer than the polls we’re hearing about — witness Govenor Ed Rendell urging Obama to do one more swing through the state — but I wouldn’t put a lot of faith in what is, we are told, a report distributed by a volunteer leader wanting to get his troops fired up.
Yes, I’ve Seen the Kos Post Suggesting Obama’s Internal Polls in PA Show a 2 Percent Lead
