From today's Political Wire: "Obama Poll Shows Tighter Race in Pennsylvania."
An internal poll from Sen. Barack Obama's campaign in Pennsylvania has him just two points ahead of Sen. John McCain, according to The Hill.I will not look at poll numbers.
"WILK radio host Steve Corbett said Tuesday he obtained an Obama campaign e-mail about the internal poll showing a tight race." The Obama campaign "wouldn't confirm the internal poll numbers, but said that the e-mail was sent without permission."

Ed Rendell has been cautioning against too much complacency in PA, and mentioned that the state tends to tighten up as the election approaches. Obama should definitely see it as a priority as far as time and money goes.
Still, it's unlikely that a state that went for Kerry and Gore, and that has a significant African-American population, and that does not have a Republican administration (=voter suppression) can easily switch over to the GOP column. And it's more than conceivable that Obama could actually win without PA, Ohio, and Florida, though it would be difficult.
The main point is I have too much work to do to start drinking in the morning every day until Nov. 5.
I was just playing around on the Real clear Politics map. As long as Obama carries Virginia, he could lose FL, PA, and OH and one of the CO, NV, NM states and STILL win.
"Gar marriage." You smart**s.

To start drinking in the morning implies that one stopped drinking at some point during the previous night. I'm not sure that's what I'm advocating. If you drink enough the night before, let's say until the bed is spinning, then you can probably make it through several hours of sleeping without needing to dose up again until you're awake. So, really, I'm pushing more for a continuous stream kind of idea.
And can you really be so sure that staying drunk for the next two weeks would cause you to not work on your dissertation? I'd like to suggest that it could actually help you in your dissertation. So you wouldn't really reach a point where you're staring at Queen Uraca and unable to think straight. Uraca while drunk may be the way to go.
You're still a poet, damn it. Don't suppress.
You're the one who brought up fish marriage. I just assumed you'd been reading some weird right-wing Catholic blog that praised Michelle Bachman, called Obama a Muslim Communist Terrorist, and railed against gars who wanted to get married. It's not that far-fetched.
Sudden thought: Muslim terrorists hate the Communists. That's what led Reagan to fund Bin Laden to begin with. So how can Obama be a Muslim terrorist AND a Communist? That doesn't make any sense. Somebody please explain this to me.
You know, I don't even really drink all that much. (Can a beer every few months be considered drinking?) I'm seriously considering starting. At least this year there isn't quite the calls for excommunication, if you don't vote republican. Just a couple of the bishops, but I wonder who listens to Chaput and the guy in Scranton, anyway. (Drawing a blank on his name. It's getting late here.)
Garpu,
I wouldn't call a beer every few months "drinking," no.
To quote St. Bogart, "The whole world is three drinks behind. If everyone in the world would take three drinks, we would have no trouble. If Stalin, Truman and everybody else in the world had three drinks right now, we’d all loosen up and we wouldn’t need the United Nations."
I think this especially applies to bishops threatening excommunication.
Maybe I should take a friend's advice and remember that it's always after noon somewhere in the world...
