Pennsylvania dreaming

Is it really tightening in Pennsylvania? Maybe a little. But the RCP average is still 10.5%. I don't think anyone thinks Obama is going to win the state by double digits. That would be a landslide. I see a win about half that size, maybe six points. But that's still not very close in the scheme of things. The cable nets are going to fixate on Pennsylvania over the next few days (another reason I think an Obama surgical strike in Arizona would be usefully subject-changing), but it's worth bearing in mind as you hear all that that Obama's lead is still about as large there according to multiple recent polls as it is in, say, Wisconsin. I understand from an electoral college perspective why McCain keeps fighting in Pennsy and not Wisconsin, but it's still a long shot.
