Ed Rendell, the former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, says that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would win Pennsylvania if the election were held today.
?Romney carries the state, narrowly,? Rendell, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told Politico. ?But I think Obama will ultimately win the state, because he?s a terrific campaigner and the Republican Congress has put themselves in a huge box.?

Democrats have won the Keystone State in every presidential election since 1988, when George H.W. Bush narrowly defeated then-Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis.
Polling indicates that President Obama may have more trouble carrying the state than his predecessors. According to a Quinnipiac poll released in late September, 51 percent of Pennsylvanians do not believe that Obama deserves re-election.
The poll also showed Obama leading Romney 45 percent to 43 percent, within the margin of error, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry 46 percent to 40 percent.
