Good morning politicos, lots of news today. Here’s the Buzz. Philly viewers will see $393K of anti-Kathleen Kane ads starting today. The PAGOP will elaborate this morning on internal polling showing Obama just 1 point ahead of Romney. And the congressional races are heating up.

Thursday: National GOP Group to Target Kane on Philly TV: A national group aimed at electing Republican state officials will unleash an attack ad against Kathleen Kane starting Thursday, two media-buying sources tell PoliticsPA.

PAGOP Poll: Obama 48, Romney 47: The Pa. Republican Party will release an internal poll on Thursday that shows Mitt Romney within 1 point of Barack Obama.

To Err is Human; To Forgive? Ask Eaton: Let he or she who has never committed a typo throw the frist stoen. Democratic challenger Missa Eaton aggressively criticized incumbent Rep. Mike Kelly over a statement by a spokesman that he was campaigning in northeast Pa. rather than northwest.

Politically Uncorrected: Electoral College Roulette: In this column, Madonna and Young discuss modern campaigns and the Electoral College. Specifically, they say the system is a flawed one that panders to “swing states” while largely ignoring problems faced by the rest, since their vote can already be predicted before Election Day.

Debate Drama Across PA Congressional Races: What’s the key issue in the U.S. House races in Pennsylvania this election? Where to debate. It’s a tale as old as time: challenger wants 100 debates, the incumbent agrees to one 30 minute forum at 7 a.m. the Monday before the election.

Legislative Election Updates

The Political Action Committee of the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association released its list of bipartisan state House endorsements this week. The list is at the bottom of the Buzz.

SD-47: The Pa. AFL-CIO officially endorsed Dem Kim Villella in her race against Sen. Elder Vogel (R-Beaver). “Kim understands that in order to have a strong economy and customer base, our region needs to have a strong middle class,” said Beaver-Lawrence Central Labor Council President Richard Galiano. “With her experience investing in our infrastructure and proven track record in manufacturing, Kim is exactly what our members and their friends and families are looking for.”

SD-49: Dem Sean Wiley Wednesday boasted an endorsement from Bob Spaulding, who served as the Director of the Economic Development for the County of Erie. Spaulding  wrote, “a successful economic area is built from the ground up, by having students receive the education they need, having safe communities, and a strong social services community. All of these things have suffered recently. Once those building blocks are in place, our community economy and job market will bloom. Wiley understands this.”

HD-131: Dem Kevin Deely, challenging Rep. Justin Simmons (R-Lehigh) has a press conference today on education. It’s at 4pm outside of South Mountain Middle School, Emmaus Ave. and Church St., Allentown.

HD-134: John Reynard may be a long shot to unseat new Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Lehigh), but he knows how to throw a good jab: “What is the difference between me and Ryan?” he asked the approximately 20 people who came out in the rain for the program at Fire Co. #1 in Emmaus. “Ryan has done two things in his life — gone to Harvard and worked in politics. He’s never owned a home, never paid property taxes, and as far as I know, he’s never had a girlfriend.”
