Just read that the Obama Campaign has stopped airing ads in PA..

I thought it was kinda strange it being a key state with poll showing he was ahead there..Kinda early for this isn't it?

Obama camp stops its PA ad spending, for now: By the way, the Obama campaign is no longer advertising in Pennsylvania -- at least for now. We’ll have more information on all the ad spending later. But their latest buy has them in 8 states: FL, VA, NH, OH, IA, NV, CO and NC

that's why. It's no longer a battleground state no matter how desperately the pundits want it to be one.

The buzz is Pa is basically Obama's to lose at this moment. I'm pretty sure the campaign is attempting to spend money where it's the most needed considering their disadvantage in the monetary department.

I hope that's not it, but we know that Obama is being outspent by a near 10 to 1 margin. How he closes the gap is the concern.
