Why Continue?

With polls showing a double digit lead for Obama in Pennsylvania and McCain continually losing ground in other must win swing states including Florida and Ohio, is there even a race left in Pennsylvania? The McCain camp believes there is still a battle to be had. The Obama camp has registered more than a half million voters in Pennsylvania over the last year and continues to campaign in the metropolitan areas of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Throughout September McCain had been outspending Obama in television advertisements but in the first week of October McCain spent his usual $1.6 million while Obama more than doubled his previous expenditures by pouring $2.2 million into television advertising. While McCain has spent more time in Pennsylvania than Obama since the party conventions, Obama has used his allies and veep candidate to effectively campaign in the mostly white suburban and working class areas of the state. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton have been campaigning throughout the state with the most recent events taking place in Scranton, the most populous city in Northeastern Pennsylvania
