I just read an article by Thomas Edsall, concern trolling about Obama's supposed "problem" in Pennsylvania. Apparently, Pennsylvania is only "leaning" Dem, even though Obama has a more than 9% lead according to the article's own polling source. Furthermore, the article distorts (at least on my computer) the polling graph from the website in order to make it appear that McCain actually has a lead.
From the "article" :
But Callahan is not a lock for Obama: "I'm just tried of seeing so much of him, he's started to turn me off. I'm kind of burned out; it's as if they already wrote him into office."
Callahan could be a fluke, and interviews with some 40 voters here, in surrounding suburbs, and in Reading, Pa., all suggest that Obama is positioned to win Pennsylvania and its 21 Electoral College votes by a narrow margin.

I emailed Mr Edsall, and he responded very timely. After his explanations and reasoning, I feel sufficiently convinced that he wasn't purposely misleading in his article. I've changed the OP title as a result.
