Corbett yard signs definitely do exist. There's one in my front yard, and they're all around my area. The Montco GOP doesn't f[inks] around.

How did it get there?

Cook finally moves it to Likely D

Cook finally moves it to Likely D

Probably the best we'll get out of Cook for this race this cycle because of "muh incumbency."

My parents are Republicans.

Honestly I thought he was gonna keep it at toss up the entire cycle, due to some arbitrary rule about muh incumbency or something.

...I've spoken out about how the incumbency advantage for Governors here isn't some unbreakable rule (going back to 2005-06 when many Dems around here could only point to incumbency as Rendell's strong point while he was looking vulnerable) but it's not "arbitrary." That's just an incredibly ignorant comment to make.

And enough of this "muh _____" nonsense. It really isn't funny anymore. You kids really know how to beat the life out of something.

I think you're misinterpreting my point. I wasn't saying "incumbents usually have an advantage" was an arbitrary rule. I was saying I expected Cook to have an arbitrary rule such as: "Incumbents will NEVER be rated below toss up no matter what".

Today was the Lieutenant Governor's Debate... which was pretty much like two fans of Corbett and Wolf going at it.

Stack looked a little bit better, but it doesn't really matter.

Wait...they actually debated? How did I not know this?

And there's no way Cawley didn't win if it really did happen.

For some reason that's the best source I can find for it right now, but ABC 27 just covered it.

[IceSpear]

You know something is low profile when even Atlas posters don't know about it (I had no idea either).

[Vega]

Yes, Corbett signs do exist.

[IceSpear]

Thanks for the proof, I'll see if I can spot one during my commute this week.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

There were quite a bit of Corbett signs out in the Lancaster area when I was there yesterday. Only saw about one or two Wolf signs, however.

Heh, good luck. In the area of PA you're in, it apparently isn't easy.

I've seen lots of Wolf signs in the mid-state. Corbett's supporters (or the local GOP outfit) seem to be sticking up a good number of signs in the past week, though.

[DemPGH]

I'm now seeing more of both Wolf and Corbett signs popping up in yards and here and there, but the edge is to Wolf. I'd get a Wolf one, but I'm honestly mixed on the whole yard sign thing. I've been seeing ones for local politicians going back to August.

The funny thing is that Corbett actually won by town 52-48 in 2010. It'll be interesting to see the results this year.

[Keystone Phil]

I was in the Wilkes Barre area today for some campaigning and saw a grand total of three Corbett signs. Maybe a few more Wolf signs.

Obama coming to Philly (Temple's Liacouras Center) on Sunday!!!

They love going to my alma mater for these GOTV rallies.

But I share your enthusiasm! This should energize some Republicans and shave the margin a bit.

I'd go if I A. didn't have to go to work and B. had a way to get there.

[IceSpear]

Hmm, maybe I'll go. I don't think I have anything to do that day.

[Keystone Phil]

I am absolutely rushing to Norristown tomorrow night to get this. I can't believe this is actually happening perfectly.

What.

[Keystone Phil]

That was in reference to picking up the ticket to see Obana. Sorry for lack of clarity.

With your party registration and political compass scores, why would you be that excited to see the President in a political setting?
