In PA we have fought every step of the way
We have rolled out our program like a machine. Tomorrow, we have the final push on election day.

I have heard that we have just done one of the largest GOTV operations ever in a congressional race. Trust me, you wouldn't want to live in certain neighborhoods. We have been all over those poor people for weeks. Hopefully, this effort will show up on election day. If we get the turnout in Philly and the collar counties we've worked so hard for, we can keep PA blue.

A big thank you to the unions... huge hugs to the unions. Vote Vets also get big squeezes. Many thanks to the voters for putting up with us calling and calling for support.

What's done is done. It's in the hands of the voters now.

2. Awesome job, cap!
You're worth 100 DU complainers.

Correction: 1000.

8. things are hard for me to say
I have a very narrow view of what's going on....I have been operating in a bit of a tunnel... but I will say that our base is holding firm. Turnout is everything. If we turnout, we can make it ... just squeak by.

9. I think his campaign has been excellent! However...
there's a bit of a scandal going on right now with the absentee ballots.

Murphy and Fitzpatrick squared off before as you may know, with Murphy winning by only 1,500 votes. The republicans control the election committee in the county and they're nasty. They have not gotten over that loss in 2006.

Honestly, I feel very hopeful. Murphy's ads were smart, informative -- and attacked the GOP, too. He had a great balance, imho.

But with the absentee ballots being held hostage... I'm nervous. This was a last minute tactic on the part of the republicans -- came out of the blue -- and there was no time to really sort through it. Murphy's camp is likening it to the Florida ballot problems!

Stay tuned. And thanks for asking!

10. I am sorry to hear this. Bucks County is similar to Litchfield County (in CT).
Fortunately I do not live in either one.
GOTV!

5. Fight all the way! Get those voters in SE/SW PA and the Northeast to the polls!
High turnout is what Joe Sestak needs.
Richard Blumenthal is going to win. It looks as his floor is 56%. McMahon has angered the female voters and they are coming out in force to deny her this seat.

7. Thank you.
I'm also in PA and I feel guilty because, unlike in the past, personal circumstances have prevented me from participating in GOTV efforts. I'm grateful to people like you.
