The most ORIGINAL explanation of how McCain will win PA...
from HILLBUZZ...

We believe Nader will suck enough support from Obama to win PA for McCain — but it won’t be Nader alone that does this. In 2004, Democrats were united against Bush, if not unified in support of Kerry. And yet, 3% or so of them wanted to vote for Nader and couldn’t because Democrats kept him off the ballot. Some of them are still ticked off about that, and will be voting for Nader this year to make up for not being able to do so 4 years ago.

1. Nader won't be taking 10% of the vote, which is the average by which McCain is down by.

4. NADER?! That's their way out?!
Oh, PLEASE. Ralph Nader couldn't win the votes of his own family at this point, much less 10% in PA.

5. The Bob Barr factor
He is on the ballot, too! How much will he suck from Mcshit? One has to factor that in, as well.

9. PAUL ...
PA is one of the biggest Paul vestiges - Nader/Paul will garner more of the vote than Nader.

I think I speak for 99% of hard core dems that while we like some of what Nader speaks to, we are freakin DOG tired of him syphoning votes off of D candidates.

6. Um, a Nader revolution?? okay.....
The only 3rd party votes that are going to make a difference in PA is when Ron Paul and Bob Barr get the write-in/libertarian/hate McCain detritus that wasn't going to vote Obama anyway.....

11. I browse a different forum from time to time, and this person made
All sorts of predictions during and after the primaries. Right now they're batting about 0-10, so I'm not too concerned about what they predict, no matter how creative they are at formulating the prediction.

12. # of Nader signs seen in my corner of PA = 0
# of Ron Paul signs (not including the weekly gathering of Ron Paul supporters at the road near the mall) = more than 25
