No battleground state was too small for a personal visit — by noon Obama had appeared in New Hampshire, which has just four electoral votes, and Romney was campaigning in Iowa, which has only six. But they also went for the bigger prizes, as Obama spoke in Ohio and Florida, and Romney visited Ohio and Pennsylvania. Romney was in Morrisville, outside Philadelphia, for a rally that drew tens of thousands. “What a Philadelphia wel- come, thank you,” Romney said after taking the stage to the theme music from “Rocky.” Keith-Albee becomes Though Pennsylvania has voted Democratic in recent elections and long appeared a lock for Obama, polls released Sunday showed ‘’ Obama’s lead had shrunk.
