Some interesting thoughts here, but I think in the end the Democratic registration advantage means Obama takes Pennsylvania fairly easily.

When Democrat Barack Obama was somewhere between Baghdad and Berlin last week, Republican John McCain was in a far less exotic locale: Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Sticking to his favorite format-the town hall meeting-McCain made it clear that despite a vastly expanded Democratic registration advantage in the Keystone state, the GOP is buoyed by Obama’s less than decisive lead in state polls.

“I predict to you that you will see commentators on television saying, ‘Well, we’re waiting to see what happens when Pennsylvania comes in’ [on Election Night],” McCain told the crowd of about 1,500 supporters last week. “You’ve seen that movie before.”
