Is this connected to the report by Politico.com regarding the  two internal memos sent by Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell.

The Hill is reporting that an internal poll from the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania shows him just two points ahead.

If this is true & even the Governor is asking for help, I hope the cavalry comes as soon as possible. I would bring in Barack, Hillary, Bill & Joe to Western PA for at least two more large rallies.

There is no reason we should lose PA. And we certainly cannot afford being up by low single digits in this state going into November 4. If Obama goes into PA leading by 1,2,3 or even 4% by November 3rd, that's not a good sign.

If there is a state that will somehow produce a Bradley Effect or last minute defections by white working class voters, PA would be right up there together with OH.

Obama should be able to fix this problem by coming back to PA with Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden & Bill Clinton should also comeback for a rally.

For people with a short memory. Gov. Rendell was ahead by around 23 to 25 points exactly two weeks before the election based on three independent polling organizations.

Come election day, Rendell carried PA by just  single digit of
about  8%.  PA is very capable of surprising the nation.

This is the last thing we need.

Wow!  I was stressed out all day awaiting the Hillary speech tonight.  All day long I was setting up my middle school classroom (we start next week here in SoCal) and listening to MSNBC's coverage of the convention.  I worked myself into a mega-depressed state while listening to the pundits and interviews from Clinton supporters (Linda Sanchez and Terry McAuliffe, among others) who were dancing around the issue of whole-heartedly supporting Obama/Biden.  Then I listened to Warner.  Ugh.  He may be good in Virginia, but the speech was flat.  As the buildup to Senator Clinton's speech approached, I kept thinking about McAuliffe and remembering the energy he brought to the '92 and '96 campaigns, and how that was absent now.
Then Senator Clinton superseded all expectations and brought the house down with her speech.  I was feeling really good, but a little nervous still.  However, around 9:24 pm (PDT), McAuliffe was being interviewed by Tweety and Olbermann and he said this, "What I would do if I were Barack Obama, I would put Hillary Clinton, I'd put her in that state (Ohio) for the next 72 days.  She was the champion of Blue Collar, let her get out there and let her bring those voters home."

Okay people everyone knows that in order for the party to survive we need new members, importantly young voters to engage in the political process. They are the future of this party and we need them as the base ages.  Here is a good example of throwing roaches in your own stew.

You can allways count on Gov. Ed Rendell to be painfully honest.

Demoting Penn ??? No way, under the bus with this guy !!!!

The gauntlet is being laid down. As was first broched by James Carville on Friday, two prominant Clinton backers, John Corzine and Ed Rendell, the governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania are promising to raise $15M for revotes in Florida and Michigan, half the projected cost of $30M. Now it is up to the Obama campaign to pony up and get this done. As I discussed today, The Democrats will lose in the fall if they disenfranchise Florida and Michigan. Obama is stalling and trying to run out the clock with empty rhetoric, procedural mumbo jumbo and false proposals. He's not fooling anyone except his most ardent supporters. He thinks that it will help him win the nomination, but what's the point in winning the battle if you lose the war. That's not leadership.

These states need to have meaningful votes.  Obama may think that he can get the nomination without seating these delegations, but he would lose the general election without Florida and Michigan. It is time for Obama to stop stalling, pony up his share and get this done right for the sake of his candidacy and the party.
