We knew it was coming - the Corbett ad linking Wolf and the President - http://www.politicspa.com/pa-gov-corbett-ad-calls-tom-wolf-president-obamas-biggest-fan-video/61442/

"Voting for Tom Wolf would be like voting to make Obama Pennsylvania's Governor."

Well the good people of Pennsylvania have plenty of experience voting for Obama.

And Corbett has reason to be assured that he would win over Obama?? Oh man.

Interestingly, my mother is a lifelong Republican of more the '60s mold who normally sits out an election if the Republican is too much of a nut, but she informed me last evening that she will be voting Wolf (she voted Corbett in 2010 and said it was a vote she actually regrets). Shocked I was, shocked I tell you.

Worst this does is make people stay home and flip a few undecideds. Still, I'd rather have had Obama stay put in DC.

Obama would probably beat Corbett by double digits.

Good thing the people of Pennsylvania have voted to elect and then re-elect Obama.

Is this really a testing or are these numbers the results of the early vote? I noticed that the numbers change all the time. http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/

Tom Corbett is only losing by .08% so I'm pretty sure it's just a test Tongue

Yesterday he lead with 0.03%. Likely just test, but in recent polls Corbett closed the gap a bit. I think there's a 10% chance the governor still wins.

Guys, they test the system every time when we are a few days out from the election.

FiveThirtyEight gives Corbett a 1% chance of being re-elected. On the bright side for him, it probably would've been <1% a month ago.

What is your deal and concern trolling on Tom Corbett?

TXCD, he posts on RRH now, still thinks Corbett is going to win, too.

Why does the election results website have the Gubernatorial candidates full names, but have "Mike" and "Jim" - shortened names -  for the LG candidates? Kinda odd, if you ask me.

I'd still say Wolf, but by less than 10 points.

I've been saying 57-43 since June, so I'm gonna stick with that, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a few points lower at this point. A good night for Corbett would be keeping it within single digits, not that it's much of a consolation prize for him.

Anyone else go tonight? Quite the roar of Boo's for Mayor Nutter. I guess that senate run best be left to McCord if he and Kane are likely out and Rendell doesn't want it. Sestak could also work though probably not Schwartz.

How was it? There's a lot of ill will toward McCord after his blatant race baiting during the primary, so I'd prefer he not run. Schwartz's time is passed. It's almost certainly going to be Sestak, which I'm cool with. He performed very respectably in 2010 considering the circumstances.

By the way, on my walk earlier today (didn't leave my town), I saw 17 Wolf signs (yes, I counted). Goose egg for Corbett. In contrast, the signs for the Kane/McGarrigle state senate race were fairly evenly split, with a slight edge for McGarrigle.

Absolutely fantastic. Obama is obviously quite the speaker and and provided enormous energy. Wolf was much improved from what I have seen so far. Radically different audience from Hillary. 75 percent African American in my section while hillary drew like 10 total (mostly college aged kids/young suburban families). 2 hour wait in the 30 mph winds was well worth it.

The Nutter boos were especially hilarious because Obama was clearly chuckling. The place was only half filled.  Wink

The attendance was horrendous. This probably costs Wolf a point or two.

Are you really suggesting anyone cares about the attendance of a rally?
