Romney adds Election Day stops in Ohio, Pennsylvania
By NBC's Garrett Haake

STERLING, VA -- Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign announced Monday afternoon that the candidate would add two campaign stops on Election Day in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A campaign official said Romney would make stops in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, part of what the GOP nominee's campaign called an effort to "keep working until the polls close."

Romney campaign advisers have eyed Pennsylvania in recent weeks as a backstop against losing other battleground states, especially as Obama has managed to maintain a mostly consistent if slight advantage over Romney in Ohio. Pennsylvania lacks a robust early voting effort and the vast majority of ballots are cast on election day. Romney's campaign and outside groups supporting it have poured money into television advertising there in recent weeks.

18. HUGE conservative leaning poll

51% of respondents were conservative thinks in that Susquehanna poll.

What that poll had down was that half of independents had now became conservative thinkers in the state. In the '08 exits, it was something like 25% conservative, 50% independent. Now Susquehanna has it 50% conservative and 25% independent.

Essentially, Susquehanna thinks the greatest political thinking shift in history has happened in the state of Pennsylvania in the last 4 years.

Yeah .. right.

6. For Every Republican He Gets To Vote.....

There will be 2 Democrats who got energergized enough to vote, as well.

McCain did worse in PA after he showed up in 2008.

7. Desperate!

[Iliyah]

8. We got Ohio tooooooooooooo

but don't tell Husted and the criminal brigade.

[Divine Discontent]

9. I think President Obama should campaign more but then I think, perhaps, he's going to sit and take

calls on election day with his top election aides about what's really going on in the election battlegrounds with voter suppression, software patches to machines, and any other problems. I would think he'd want to be actively in those discussions on election day, rather than giving another speech.

The outreach is done after today, tomorrow is all about getting people to the polls. I hope it's such a massive turnout that there's no question who won in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Fortunately, I believe there's enough states that Obama is leading, that he should win 290-305 EV's.

To have Romney take OH, VA, NC, FL, and CO, would be absurd.

If Pres. Obama take ANY of those five states (Ohio or Virginia are likeliest, the other 3 are tossups), along with NV, IA, WI and NH, he wins narrowly.

10. Have to give to him: he doesn't give up! Must break up states

and sell them to the highest bidder!!

[secondwind]

11. I thought it wasn't legal?

[Turborama]

20. Me too.

Until I found this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_silence

It looks like it would have to be a "gentleman's agreement", which ain't gonna happen if Rmoney's involved.

[nobodyspecial]

12. A desperate move

from a desperate campaign

[Kolesar]

13. In 1975, Aerosmith rocked the charts with: "Dream On"

Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true!

[inamatteroftime]

14. The ones he may try to steal...

claiming that last stop turned it around for him. Paranoid much? Yes, we're dealing with known crooks!

[adigal]

27. Bush II did exactly that in 2004! I am getting paranoid! Nt

[BeyondGeography]

17. OK..."A" for effort on the death spiral

[SoapBox]

19. MittShit and his..."real change".

Ya know...and I'm just venting (as usual)...it really, REALLY f*ing ticks me off...that Dirty Mittens and his
Scum Bag Team of Haters...can't even come up with anything on their own for slogans.

Debate 3, he just parroted the President.

And now all he can do, is use the 2008 President's theme of "change".

Void of ideas...as usual. And nothing but the same old Puke, Bagger, Bush and Co. crap, as their future plan.

Idiots and assholes...I don't want them in the White House, again!

[brooklynite]

21. From the NY Times: Mittens "didn't want to sit around" tomorrow...

...from a Romney staffer

[The Old Creak]

22. Can you say....

desperation?

[Mc Mike]

23. GOP trying to steal PA, in Western PA, again.

His last visit will 'turn the tide' for him in Pittsburgh, no doubt. It worked out so well for McCain, last time around.

[NEOBuckeye]

25. CLE and PGH are two of the bluest cities in the region

He's a damned fool if he thinks his efforts there will amount to anything more than spitting in the wind.

[adigal]

26. This gets me nervous. Bush II added an Ohio stop at the last minute

Right before he stole the damn state. But I have faith in Obama and his lawyers, a lot more than I did in Kerry.

[MadrasT]

28. AAAAARGH!!!1!

I wish he would stay the fuck out of my state, I thought he polluted it for the last time on Sunday.



At least he will be all the way over in Pittsburgh. (Wasting his time.)

Go away, loser, WE GOT THIS.

[onecent]

29. Ahhhh Romney so RARELY tastes rejection...and desperation....how sorry it must

feel for him....

I am LOVING every minute of it. He's a Lying Lying Lying psychotic man.
And they sure kept Lyin Ryan hidden well during the last few weeks....he looks like
a gnat on meds anyway.

Go Obama.

[wisteria]

30. Apparently, they are private stops.

Anyone have any idea why he would be doing this on election day?
