Minnesota seems like it once again is going to be one of those "teaser" states that might let us down on election day.

Lets not discount those who bitterly cling to their Guns, quite a few of them in upper MN who are going to come out for the Palin/McCain ticket.
At this point I wouldnt rule out any midwestern states for McCain/Palin.

How good is Rasmussen on state polling?
It’s interesting that so many other polls showed it closer in MN. Then again, I’m sure it will go RAT anyway, per usual.
To: tatown
I think that MN is a waste of time for McCain-Palin. PA, MI, even WI would be better bets of flipping a blue state.

While I doubt we take Minnesota, the only state that voted fro Mondale, I must ask;
Is this an independent Rasmussen poll of the state, or the 500 LV Fox News sponsored polls, in which Fox gives Rasmussen their own voter ID breakdown? It has made a bit of a difference in Rasmussen’s state polling.
For example, the Fox/Ras poll has Elizabeth Dole losing a Senate seat in NC. This will not happen.

I read Rasmussen changed hispolitcal affliations over the weekend to favor Dems again !NO reason for the change just because he thinks that .

We’re being lured with this crap about MN being close, like it was supposed to be in 2004, so we devote resources to it and still lose. There are too many other must-wins to waste too many resources in MN.

It WAS close in 2004, Bush loss by just 3%.
To: Perdogg
I don't know this time around. I was actually surprised to see that Bush lost MN by less than 2.5% in 2000 and less than 3.5% in 2004. You would figure that Obama would be less appealing than Gore or Kerry, so maybe there's a chance. OTOH, Bush lost WI less than 0.5% in 2000 and 2004.

Minnesota has been trended Republican for several years now, so I think we have a great shot at Minnesota (Al Franken should be worth 2 points for McCain at the minimum).
Southeast Wisconsin is in the Chicago media market and is traditionally very liberal (i.e. Madison). Wisconsin would be a very hard flip. If McCain takes Wisconsin, he will take Minnesota, Michigan, and possibly Pennsylvania.
Minnesota and Michigan are the best bets for flips in the upper midwest. Either one solidifies McCain’s election.

Why did he do that?
To: bigbob
two words... Al Franken
The question is, does Franken ramp up DEM support more or GOP support more?
