The analysis says that:

"The campaign needs to focus on increasing favorability or demotivating oppositional turnout in the following counties: Philadelphia (trailing by 72) Montgomery (trailing by 28), Lackawanna (trailing by 26), Bucks (trailing by 20), Northampton (trailing by 13), Chester (trailing by 12), Luzerne (trailing by 12), Allegheny (trailing by 10), and Fayette (trailing by 8).”

"Demotivating oppositional turnout." That means filling the airwaves with so much irritating and repetitive crap that people get turned off by the whole process and refuse to show up to vote.

In particular, Corbett needs to get voters in Philadelphia to stay home, because his unfavorables are in the toilet there.

So far, the Wolf campaign has fought this strategy by sticking with a positive message and quickly responding to deceitful attack ads.

Actually, Corbett's strategy is now to go around and put up "demotivational" posters outside every urban polling place.
