Is PA going to be a swing state in the 08 election?
I'm just asking because TPM just released this article about Pa. Officials concealing the official list of polling places.

Excerpt:

Pa. won't release list of polling places

Pa. Officials, Fearing Terrorism, Conceal List of Polling Places

State officials have decided not to publicize their list of polling places in Pennsylvania, citing concerns that terrorists could disrupt elections in the commonwealth.

The Department of State was influenced by the terrorist bombings that struck just days before Spain's national elections in 2004, spokeswoman Leslie Amoros said. Election officials consulted with state police, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and the state Office of Homeland Security.

"The agencies agreed it was appropriate not to release the statewide list to protect the public and the integrity of the voting process," Amoros said.

Information on individual polling places remains available on the state voter services Web site or by calling the state or county elections bureaus.


Hmm...I wonder if a "terrorist disruption" would actually favor the repuke candidates like the diebold malfunctions were doing. Plus, I thought the war in Iraq was supposed to solve all of these pesky issues? Fightin' em over there and all that other government approved BS and all.

The most distressing thing, is Homeland Security deciding on the places we vote that shouldn't be made public.

1. I still think Guliani will do well in PA if he gets the nomination. (No polls to back it up).

2. Nope - there will be no 'swing states' in '08, its going to be a Democratic landslide everywhere.
