Only video so far....from tonight's newscast.

Obama 49% McCain 47%

Senate: Coleman 41% Franken 40%

[vwatto]

I was polled in this poll on the 11th. Was wondering when it would be released.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Give me some context. Is this so-so? Or is this Hugh?

[snarkytart]

Is this bad or good?
Should we be ahead?

[B Knotts]

Hugh and series.

[gore_sux_2000]

I see the race has tightened between Coleman and Stuart Smalley. Wasn’t Coleman running further ahead of him in previous polls?

[RoseofTexas]

Is this good or bad for our team....dang it, I’m afraid to look at polls anymore. I’m afraid the RATS wish of the McPAl bounce will fade anytime soon...:(

[kingattax]

minnesota is walter mondale territory. mccain/palin being competitive here is HUGH !

[vwatto]

Yeah, Franken has somehow cut way into Coleman’s lead. Don’t ask me how. There must be a lot of idiots here in MN.

[fhayek]

Pretty series. I’m sure Obama was counting on Minnesota to be solidly in his camp. He wasn’t planning to spend much of his resources there.

[Silly]

This is good news. Minnesota is very blue.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

It’s within MOE, which is good. Obama is going to have to defend hard. And there are an increasing number of states where that is true. What’s Hugh is the number of states that he has to actively compete in are probably beyond what he can actually accomplish at this point.

His funds are drying up. His excitement level is way down. Anxiety is way up. He’s tied with Mac in WA, Mac is ahead in MI. So, he’s got a lot of ground to cover, while he’s still trying to raise money from a base who’s becoming more and more demoralized as the days go on.

That’s about where it is. We’re not home free yet, but the trend is our friend.

[vwatto]

MN hasn’t gone red since Nixon. This is the ONLY state Mondale won in ‘84.

OH PLEZ, OH PLEZ, OH PLEZ, don’t tell Franken has a HUGH chance of winning there...OMG!! He is such a dog puke!!

[B Knotts]

It’s very good. Obama should be ahead by 7-10 in Minnesota.

Kerry won it by 4. Gore won it by 2.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Where’s the 3rd party senate guy?

[TheWasteLand]

Come on all you Minnesota hockey moms - it’s time to vote for a hockey mom!

[scooby321]

Lets see how popular Democrats are with $7.00 gallon gas prices this week and gas lines and limits on how many gallons you can buy.

Wonder what heating cost will be there.

[goawaylibs]

Bush lost to Kerry by 3 points in ‘08. Par for the course in Mondale-land.

Good that it’s competitive so that 0bama will have to throw resources there, but could Coleman possibly be locked in a tight race with that arseclown Franken?

[vwatto]

Dean Barkley, the 3rd party senate guy is polling 14%. That’s probably where Coleman lost his numbers.
