New Hampshire. He has a good ground game there...and is well known and liked. Pennsylvania is a stubborn state, with the large inner cities like Philly and the huge amount of Minnesota-like blue collar towns.

Probably NH, just because it's a much smaller state with a higher percentage of independents.

I agree with Naso (as odd as that is to say).

Needless to say, losing Pennsylvania almost completely rules out a Democratic victory.

Again it depends what the main issues are in the campaign. If it is the war and foreign policy I think Obama has a better chance of taking NH. If it is mostly on the economy PA is more likely to vote dem.

PA

NH may "like" McCain but when all is said and done, they're going to fall for that "He's more of a Bush Republican these days" argument. McCain's Iraq position makes it unlikely that the state will even be that competitive.

NH

PA's not going to vote for a Republican statewide for a long time, certainly not in 2008.

I would say, right now NH.  If there was a large Black population, I'd say PA, but 5% or so who won't vote for someone based on race are more unlikely to swing NH to McCain.

Uh...?

Name for me the statewide elected Republicans (two out of six) and tell me exactly why they're going to lose.

More likely to win Pennsylvania, although it's not 50/50 in either state.

PA.  I think once the campaign picks up NH polls are going to sway heavily to Obama.  PA will be tight until the end.
