RealClearPolitics gives a Obama a 'solid' lead in Penn

The race is just about over for McCain in PA. He should send off the troops, where it is likely going to be competitive. Obama leads McCain, by an average of 10 points, with some polls have him up considerably more. McCain should be looking on trying to keep the states that were won by George Bush in '04 i.e Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Colorado, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, and Nevada. Since Obama is comfortably up in Iowa and New Mexico (won by Bush in '04), he can't lose a single other state won by Bush. I still think it is possible for McCain to sweep all these states, but it is not going to be easy if he is spending all his money on expensive media markets in PA, especially since he is down in six out of the eight states.

Anyway the PA presidential race is all but sealed for Obama.

    Of course, nothing is ever really sealed in politics. 1.5 years ago people were saying hell would freeze over before McCain would win the nomination....and that there was no one who could unseat Clinton - and look what happened there. Pulling or investing in a state is always a gamble - you never know what might happen between now and the election that may turn the tides....
