"Pennsylvania is consistently Obama blue down the home stretch, even with white voters only narrowly in his corner. Sen. Barack Obama's big lead over Sen. John McCain in the critical southeast Philadelphia suburbs - the key to the Keystone State in recent elections - should seal up Pennsylvania for Obama," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
