at least THAT’s the way MN was when I left in 74. ............................ Yeah, and they elected a fake wrestler as governor? Jumpin Jimminy!

Another Monday.

Another round of polls for people to waste time trying to derive meaning from, and to regulate their moods with.

Still plenty of room for volunteers at your local campaign shop. Just a suggestion.

MN has only gone Rep once since 1960.

Yes, Bush lost MN by 100,000 votes with only 2.8 million votes cast and all the Bush 2004 numbers were records. You’re really going to play in MN rather than OH or PA?

I agree. But hey, we have three presidential debates and one VP debate for the media to skew in the DEMs favor. I hope that McCain blows Obama out of the water this Friday, but with liberal moderators, the deck is stacked in Obama's favor.

.....

If you view these polls as a “waste” then why “waste” your time posting messages in these poll resuts threads?

I wonder if a second VP debate will have to be scheduled if Obama ditches Biden?

I'm half joking...I don't think Obama is that stupid.

...Or is he? ;-)

If McCain takes Wisconsin, he will take Minnesota, Michigan, and possibly Pennsylvania.

No WI is more in play than the other three states. Bush lost WI in 2004 by 11,000 votes and in 2000 by 5,700 votes.

He made comment about it last week. He slightly increased the Dem percentage and slightly lowered the repub. I forgot on what day but at least he admitted it. Gallup made a huge adjustment and will not admit to it but there raw data for the last four months reveals they made a large pro Dem adjustment. Read Wizbang website about the sneaky Gallup change.

1) "the economy is fundamentally sound."

2) "I will fire chairman Cox"

3) wait too long to make formal address on the economic situation.

4) failure to have Governor Palin make formal address to establish gravitas

5) failure to have organized refutation of Obama and mainstream media

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. Agreed

Other polls have shown the race about a 2 point Obama lead. Have to give it time to see what more recent polls say.

Wisconsin has been trending liberal more than the other States listed and Southeast Wisconsin (the most dense population area) is smack-dab in the middle of the Chicago media market. That makes Obama almost a “native son” in Madison.

No, Wisconsin will only flip if McCain is strong enough to flip Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Yes, Wisconsin is in play more than MN. Personally, if I wouldn’t waste time anywhere except for NM, OH, CO, VA, PA, and maybe MI and WI.
