Rendell wants Obama to come back to Pennsylvania.
(CNN) — Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell has sent two separate memos to the Obama campaign in the past five days requesting that the Democratic Presidential candidate—as well as Hillary and Bill Clinton—return to campaign in Pennsylvania, Rendell told CNN's Gloria Borger.
Rendell said the McCain campaign is clearly making a push to win Pennsylvania, given the recent visits by the Arizona senator, his wife and his running mate. As a result, he wants Obama to appear in western Pennsylvania, Harrisburg and one more “large rally” in Philadelphia.
Democrats generally worry that the race is significantly closer than what recent polls have suggested. According to Rendell, there is also worry among Democrats the McCain campaign has successfully raised the enthusiasm level among Republicans in the state.

As I've been saying all along..
This will certaintly throw a wrench into Obama's electoral map. If Mccain carries Florida, Ohio (where he has opened up leads in both Rasmussen polls) and Pennsylvania, it'll be quite difficult for Obama to win, even with Virginia in his pocket.
Time for the Allentown Morning Call to trot out another poll with +12% Democrat sample.
