Maybe I'm reading too much into those items, but at this incredibly late stage, it does make me wonder whether the window's closing on Romney. I suppose we'll see very soon.
I think you are reading into it too much. McCain went after Pennsylvania as it was a last minute effort to try to win by going after a hard to reach state. Romney on the other hand saw polls moving that way in the state after the first debate, saw Obama was not campaigning hard there, and decided to dump some of their extra cash into the market.

Its pretty much the difference between desperation and opportunism.
