Daily Kos: State of the Nation

How Obama could win PA: 2 nonpartisan experts show the way.
Last night gpclay's diary alerted us to an excellent analysis yesterday in Allentown's Morning Call newspaper by Pennsylvania election and polling experts Terry Madonna and Michael Young, in which they describe a realistic roadmap of how Obama could actually pull an upset win in the Keystone State.
