Go
Maybe I’m wrong, maybe John McCain has a shot in PA. A new poll has Obama only up by 4 in PA, with 9 undecided. I still think it’s unlikely but if you’re a New Yorker and want to go to PA to help out this weekend, contact me and I’ll help make that happen.

Bad idea
McCain makes risky play for Pennsylvania
When I’m making a questionable call in poker, I’ll sometimes say “I’m about to look like a total genius or a total idiot.” The guy was on a bluff and my bottom pair gets me a large pot? Disco. The guy has a full-house and my bottom pair is no good? Moron.
Should a miracle occur and McCain win Pennsylvania, he will be the smartest man alive who ran the best campaign of all time. But if he invests money to lose a state that hasn’t voted Republican since 1988 and sends one and a half Democrats to the U.S. Senate, people might wonder why he didn’t focus on the states George W. Bush won a mere four years ago, and “idiot” will be too charitable.
