...There were signs that Obama's hard work and extensive television advertising were paying off: various polls showed the race tightening a bit. The talk-show muttering had migrated from Jeremiah Wright to Clinton's Bosnian sniper-fire fantasy. Hordes of new voters were registering in Pennsylvania. It was not impossible that Obama would turn Clinton's predicted victory into a closer-than-expected moral defeat...
...most basic level, Obama is telling Pennyslvanians what they don't want to hear, while Clinton tells them exactly what they want to hear. (In many ways their conflicting messages mirror John McCain and Mitt Romney's blue-collar jobs debate in the run-up to the Michigan primary earlier this year.) Then, in the next breath, the hedging starts. Obama informs his audiences that some jobs can certainly be brought back, while Clinton cautions that, of course, not all jobs can be recreated.

She leads Obama by 6 percentage points, down from 17 points earlier this week, according to an average of Pennsylvania polls by Real Clear Politics, a non-partisan website that tracks the election. Yet the latest Survey USA poll shows Clinton leading Obama 71% to 23% in the state's union-dense northeastern Rust Belt - the only region where she gained ground in that poll...
