Even with Edwards on the Demo ticket, Kerry could only muster 44% of the vote there in 2004. Unless there has been a huge influx of lefties since then, this poll sounds a bit off. Still, a lead is a lead. If McCain should take the state only narrowly, he still gets those crucial electorals.
Any chance it has something to do with this?
Exactly! If homeboy Edwards couldn’t do it, there is no way that this radical is that close.
