Not a big accomplishment with Rick Santorum and John Murtha. Pennsylvania has been a traditionally liberal Republican state. He SHOULD have won by a lot bigger margin than that.

Hey, Box- when the Bush Administration sent out the $600 refund checks during his administration, did you cash that check? Just wondering.
I paid for it, of course I cashed it. And I didn't invest it overseas in a tax free investment. I put it to use rebuilding our economy.

"Running for president in the YouTube era, you realize you have to be very judicious in what you say... You have to recognize that anytime you're running for the presidency of the United States, you're on." -- Mitt Romney, quoted by the New York Times, in June 16, 2007.
Mittens should have taken his own advice.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) came out in opposition to Mitt Romney's controversial comments that were made public in a hidden camera video, "an attempt to distance himself from a candidate that remains deeply unpopular in Massachusetts," The Hill reports.
Meanwhile. the Hartford Courant reports U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon (R) was also quick to denounce Romney's comments in the secret video.

not a big surprise... any votes he lost in rural areas were more than made up for by huge margins in Philly, Pittsburgh and harrisburg...
If he had made the statement in Wyoming, different story.

So what? What I trying to explain is the majority of voters in PA live in those three major urban pockets and his statement really didn't hurt there, it would have in a state like Wyoming

Wyoming has voted Republican in every Presidential Election since before 1972... Obama could tell Wyoming to "F' Off" and it wouldn't change the outcome of the Wyoming vote.
Pennsylvania is a swing state and matters to both parties in this election.

I know that...maybe Wyoming is bad example... New Mexico might be a better one. But in 2008, it really didn't matter.. The pubs could have picked ANYONE and they would have lost. The Dems could have picked JUST about anyone (with the possible exception of Carter) and would have won. Dukakis and Kerry and Gore rolled the dice at the wrong point in time.

Obama's "Guns & Religion" gaff was different from Romney's 47% statement. When Obama was asked about his words, he said it was a mistake and that he regretted them. Romney's defends his comments.
Like it or not... a US President has to be President for ALL AMERICANS... even those who don't support him. Much as he may dislike them... he has to be president to drug users, mental patients, hookers, the poor, the unemployed... All Americans. Not just the Romney country club set.

I understand it was a much bigger gaffe... Romney had no choice but to defend it.. if he refutes it, it would be even worse..no win in this scenario.
In reality, the president only needs to be President for those who support him and his policies.. Romney got caught saying what is essentially true... he doesn't worry about the 47% that in his eyes are dependent on the gov't.. and Obama really doesn't worry about the pro-lifers, fiscal conservatives, religious conservatives...it's politics.
