I have been meaning to write this diary since morning but between flying from NC to PA and still processing the monumental and historic events of the past 24 hours I am at a loss for words. But I will tell you like I did before about what I saw on the ground, people I talked to and what they told me about the change in American democracy.

The new NBC/Mason Dixon poll suggests that PA is now a 4% race within the margin of error. Obama leads at 47% to McCain's 43%. Remember we cannot give up Pennsylvania. There are still a lot of undecided voters here and I have documented that since my visit to the state.

Very short diary. Even among Democratic rolls here in PA I found McCain supporters and undecideds. They generally fell in the following demographics: the McCain supporters are middle to senior age group white Americans and blue collared whites, while the undecideds were white seniors and the young white age group, specifically young white low information women and a few men.

Today I read an article by Jonathan Alter about the state of the race in Newsweek. It was an outline of the worst-case scenario of how McCain can win. Ultimately I can only see one way by which McCain can win: to dial back the progress that American society has made as a whole, to appeal to the fears and the subdued feelings of bigotry of white voters and finally appeal to the cynicism of Americans in general. Make no mistake a Republican victory will be a Pyrrhic victory, a victory for the forces of cynicism, racism and all the social evils we try to discard, as we as a society try and evolve into a new generation.

For the last few days I have been canvassing and phone-banking in Pennsylvania. I will tell you about my experiences in Dauphin county in Harrisburg and Hershey area for the last few days. This is real life experience. Follow me after the jump.
