Here's a quick rundown on where Hillary, Obama, and their key surrogates will be campaigning in the state in advance of the big showdown tomorrow:
Hillary:
* Hillary will hit rallies in Scranton, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia.
* Bill Clinton will hit events in Greensburg, Arnold, Pittsburgh, Ebensburg, and Philadelphia.
* Chelsea is meeting with voters in Philly and attending events in Erie and Gettysburg.
* Hillary backers Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and Terry McAuliffe are canvassing across PA today.
Obama:
* Obama is meeting with working families in Philly, attending a town hall in McKeesport, and hitting a rally in Pittsburgh.
* Michelle Obama is with Obama on the trail today.
* Senator Bob Casey is making stops in Johnstown and Mount Lebanon.
Don't forget the Daily Show!

Recent reports have indicated that Hillary is no longer filling up seats at 2,000 seat venues, while Obama is drawing huge crowds. The air is being let out of Clinton's tires.
I live in Ohio and I can tell you that in the last couple of days before the primary, it felt like the opposite - Hillary was getting the crowds and enthusiasm, Obama was struggling a bit.
All things considered, it looks like people in Pennsylvania may be feeling a little Clinton fatigue. Obama will do really well if working class Catholic voters are just too damn sick of everything to go vote. Also, he needs big turnout from students, AA voters, and young men.
Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

I'm terribly interested in seeing this over with, myself. I can't wait.

Question is, where will the Obama campaign be tomorrow? That might give a hint about what internal polling says. If Obama leaves the state after today, or doesn't stick around for the results tomorrow, then internal polling probably says it's Clinton, by 10.
On the other hand, if he stays around, maybe the internal polling suggests it's a lot closer.
Clinton will, of course, be in PA.

Okay, now I remember: it's insights like these that I started reading TPM. Thanks.

That's the most insightful Pennsylvania post I have ever read.

Is that a joke? Seriously, I can't tell.
Obama will be in PA (I believe Philly) in the morning and IN at night.
Please recall that he was in Houston the night of the Wisconsin win, and in Wisconsin the night of the Virginia win. Where he campaigns from tomorrow tonight says absolutely nothing about what he believes the margin of the loss in PA will be.

Sorry. I don't agree. If you think you're going to lose, big, why stick around? (Clinton in South Carolina, Obama leaving Ohio).
If you're going to win, or come close, there's reason to stick around, unless there's another primary breathing down your neck.

All I'm saying is look at his track record. There are two more big elections in two weeks. Claiming a victory (even if that means a narrow loss) in the state that already voted is not a good use of time. He has not stayed in the state voting that night since SC.

I guess my memory is faulty--I thought he stayed in Texas. Left Ohio the day before, but stayed in Texas.

I'm more interested in seeing what Keith is going to say to Hillary tonight.

well, and I will be briefing industry leaders in the oilfield services business tomorrow morning, a fascinating and complex business that plays a big role in making sure you morons get gasoline. You see, it's being expert in so many things, ranging from sex to energy, that make my views so much more worthwhile.
Meanwhile, I will note, Obama is relatively unique as a prof of con law. a con law "perfessor" with apparently no scholarship to his name. You see, that's what affrimative action means, you get advanced without having to do anything. Not a very good system, I think : (

well, is anything I said not true? In my law skool, the median lsat for non-black applicants was around the 98th percentile, for AA applicants it was around the 60th. All other things being equal, which lawyer would you want representing you, the one in the top 2% of the law school applicant pool, or the one just above average?

Even more hialrious. Your law skool? Did you get it off the back of a match cover?

Obama was the editor of the friggin Harvard Law Review and one of the top in his class - among whites and AA and a host of other ethnicities.
Go read something - like facts and don't blame Obama because your an idiot.

I heard something funny on Pittsburgh talk radio this morning. A guy called up and said his wife was all set to vote for Hillary and then read something in Sunday's Post-Gazette that changed her mind; what Hillary put her daughter through. Turns out what she put Chelsea through is a gay bar crawl in Philadelphia with Ed Rendell, which shocked and sickened Mrs. Caller; now she's voting for Obama.
Talk about the right vote for the wrong reasons!

This schedule highlights how strong the Clinton bench is: Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea all campaigning. Add McCain to that (for those like I who believe their message--if not their tacticians--are in cohoots) and Obama is quadruple-teamed.
No matter, the man's got game.
