[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Hahahahahahahaha.

[Zioneer]

Ha, that's a pretty transparent effort to get the Romney campaign to waste what little time they have left in Pennsylvania.

[Gass3268]

You do realize that Obama is like a 75% favorite right now?

Eddie Rendell just trolled you, bro.

[Eraserhead]

Rendell is a huge Clinton hack/Obama hater and I'm sure he's pissed that both of the presidential candidates have largely ignored the state this cycle. He's just trolling. Romney isn't going to win PA, as all of the serious polls confirm.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Rendell was whining back in 2008 too about how Obama neglected Pennsylvania and McCain had a shot winning there.

Nuff said.

Jesus... you are the dumbest poster on this board.  It's not even close. 

[DemPGH]

Uh. . . No. Ed wants a little attention for himself and he wants to see a little energy, nobody sitting on the ball, at least more than what was around Joe Sestak in 2010.

There has been erosion of Obama support, but I don't think it is enough to win.  Depending on where Sandy hits, that might make it closer.

[Tender Branson]

His personal opinion, which is not backed up by the polls.

In fact, the latest polls out of PA are similar to those we saw at this stage in 2008.

[You kip if you want to...]

McCain could've won like, an extra 40-50 electoral votes in 2008 if he didn't waste the last fortnight in Pennsylvania.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I'll be generous to Rendell and say he might be concerned enough about Casey's chances that he wants some Obama coattails to come visit and help him.  Probably not the reason, but let's say something nice if we can.

Pennsylvania is joe biden territory

    Imagine what fun we'd be having analyzing Pennsylvania if they had gone to the Maine/Nebraska electoral college allocation by district plan. Also, what would the overall electoral calculus be nationally if that were the case.

[TheWildCard]

LOL, yeah, PA going GOP is POSSIBLE. It's also POSSIBLE for President Obama to win MO. However, both are very unlikely. For a long time now, PA has been the biggest tease when it is considered a "toss-up" for the Republicans in presidential elections and I don't think that'll change. I do think it's fine for Romney to put up a fight there because he seems to have the cash advantage.

Yeah, what's even more interesting is to consider how this would effect campaigning. I can imagine the big places to campaign in such a situation would be regions with many swing congressional districts surrounding them.

[Lincoln Republican]

Doesn't fool me or anybody else for a moment.

Just trying to drive up the Obama turnout.

[Bacon King]

With Pennsylvania's atrocious gerrymandering this cycle, all but a couple of the EVs would be easily predictable.

I think this is the right answer here. Casey does seem like he might under-perform Obama in the state. Overall, Rendell doesn't want Democrats to get complacent, which could very well happen in a state that's used to being a swing state (and with no early voting, to say the least).

[Badger]

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Rendell is a great IRL troll. Remember when he told Romney to pick Bachmann as his running mate?

Ed Rendell's retirement must be really boring

There's a lot of competition for that title ;p
