Another PA poll out today:

#3 Yeas, Shapiro says it's basically a tie in the article I linked to above:

Sargent: Governor, as of today, the polling averages have Harris ahead 1.3 points in your state. That's incredibly close. What's your sense? As of now, is Harris leading in Pennsylvania, even if it's by an extremely slim margin, or is it functionally a tie?

Shapiro: I mean, look, it's probably functionally a tie. But hear me on this, because I think some context is really important. The last two presidential races, Greg, came down to 44,000 votes and 80,000 votes to put that in some context for your viewers and listeners. That's a point or less. So whether it's statistically a tie or it's one point, the reality is the races here come down to a few tens of thousands of votes. Now, I'd rather be us than them. Let me explain why. Let me offer a little bit of meat on the bone there to back up my statement. Kamala Harris is playing on his side of the field right now. She's showing up in rural communities and getting some really positive feedback. I'm seeing, anecdotally, more signs, more volunteers, more people willing to join the Harris campaign in the communities that are those swing areas or the swing counties. And while you got to pick up those last few yards and get in the end zone"and those last few yards are really tough here in Pennsylvania"I think we've got momentum and I'd rather be us than them in this battle.

Governor Shapiro talks about Kamala Harris' chances of winning Pennsylvania and responds to Trump's attacks on Haitians in the state, which Shapiro calls "utter --------."

It's almost all negative coverage.

No, it isn't. They continue to sanewash him everyday.

Because the race in PA is so tight and because Trump's major campaign strategy now is demonizing immigrants, he has taken his Springfield, OH tactcs to PA and once again his claims about Haitian immigrants are a pack of lies:

Trump's repugnant new claims about immigrants in another small town"Charleroi, in southwestern Pennsylvania"expose the ugly underbelly of that zero-sum messaging in a fresh way. At a rally near Pittsburgh on Monday, Trump unleashed a volley of new attacks on Haitian arrivals to Charleroi, and used them to launch a broader argument about Pennsylvania, insisting that its towns and villages have been "inundated."

In an interview, Charleroi Borough Manager Joe Manning flatly said that Trump's claims are false or simply do not apply to his town in any sense. "There's what the former president is saying," Manning told me, "and then there's easily observable reality."

A breakdown of 3 of the polls listed above:

Incoming right now from @SusquehannaPR and their latest poll of PA!

A word of caution: A number of other polls came out yesterday in PA, and they all have the race much tighter than this poll does:

"Wednesday PA Pollapalooza Recap:

Muhlenberg: TIE
SP&R: TIE
RMG: TIE
" *FocalData: Harris+2
" *Monmouth: Harris+3

Frankly, today is just a rerun of what we've been getting over the last few weeks. Would expect Harris+1-1.5 right now in most aggregates.

They sure aren't family anymore and haven't been in a very long time, which is a shame because it was a good city for baseball once upon a time.

No one should be overconfident. We haven't had the Republicans' October surprise yet. That said, have hope, work hard and vote, vote, vote.

Twin, not only do rallies cost money, but some cities are now requiring Trump to pay upfront because he never paid them for previous rallies in 2020.

Indeed you do. Good to see you, Hans!

I didn't watch the interview with Parnas after the documentary ran, but I wish I had:

@RepRiggleman

I know @levparnas

He's not ------------.

Watch his documentary #FromRussiaWithLev

I know a lot about this. More than most ...

@nobodyafrn1
So this whole Hunters laptop stuff was a Russian op?

Mighty Hams
@TheMightyHams
Parnas said in an interview after the doc that a Russian intelligence asset pretended to be Biden's friend and took him to Kazakhstan, which is where the Russians got his laptop. The laptop itself may be real, but the stuff that was added to it by Russia is the op.

The worst is yet to come?:

"The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers. Among those 741 officials are 15 four-star generals, 10 former Cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations. "

Crickets, huh? Just imagine if this many high-ranking national security officals came out to support Trump. We'd never hear the end of it.

I thought her user name had PA in it. I think she worked in a medical lab. Maybe did some kind of medical research.

Oh, wait, now that I'm thinking about it I think her user name had Keystone in it. PA is the Keystone state.

Between Project 2025 appointments, RFK Jr and Musk, a second Trump presidency should be one hellava cluster ---- if, God forbid, it should it ever come to pass.

**Hey @realDonaldTrump**, why the deafening silence on my movie "From Russia with Lev"? Is the Donald scared? I thought you weren't afraid of anyone! Speak up, man! What's got you spooked? #TrumpScared #FromRussiaWithLev

Since we are going off topic a bit in this thread, does anyone remember the handle of the poster who was a woman from PA who worked in healthcare? I haven't seen her post in a while, and I've been wondering what happened to her?

"Dotard's All Caps Rant Targets Women"

DonOLD doesn't realize this rant confirms yet again just how stupid he thinks women are.

And stop stealing Lamplighter's schtick. Come up with something original, ie., something invented after the PC.

Hey, don't bust Gracie's chops too much. You know what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flatter. What people often don't know is the rest of that quote:

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." Oscar Wilde

"She was nervous, at least at first,"

Only at first, i.e., when she was answering the first question, and only, as Ronnie68 points out, after she had made the ballsy move of walking over to him behind his podium and extending her hand for him to shake.
