Romney Running Ads In Pennsylvania...

...which means this traditionally BlueState is up for grabs.

All he need do is tell the truth about Obama, in Obama's own words:



OS finds this ad very cheering and bracing. It's not character assassination...it's just the blunt facts.

Kentucky, on the other hand, is not in play. A prankster put his name on the Democrat primary ballot last spring in the presidential race, and garnered north of 40% of the votes. Obama has been that terrible for the coal industry. He especially hasn't shown his face in Western Kentucky.

Southern Illinois is also coal country. What if everrrrrryyyyybody down there turned out to counterbalance the ballot stuffing in Chicago? Obama may yet win the state, but huge red swaths in the state map could scare those thugs into some semblance of public sobriety. Ditto for Chicago's western suburban counties.

In the process, send fire-breathing conservatives into every town council, county commission, school board, legislative seat, sheriff's office, mayor's office--you name it. Whoever wins the White House will have a sea of red lower office holders to contend with on a daily basis. That will also induce sobriety.

The counties of Ohio and Indiana along the Ohio River all depend upon coal-fired industries. What if they turned out on behalf of their friends who work in those plants?

Send the message, ya'll!! Those thugs count votes. Make 'em sweat, lay awake at night, see their booze bills climb. Let's have us some fun with these clowns, let's use the ballot box to rake them over the proverbial coals.
