Romney’s Pennsylvania Stop Today Called ‘Desperate Ploy’

President Barack Obama’s top advisers said Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s campaign stop in Pennsylvania today is a “desperate ploy” in a state he can’t win in the Nov. 6 election. A Republican aide insisted the traditionally Democratic-leaning state is in play.
Both Obama and Romney conducted eleventh-hour searches for votes as a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows the nationwide race is still a dead heat. Democrat Obama’s lead over Romney among likely voters is within the poll’s 2.5 percentage point error margin, the Journal said.
