Today's Polls
CNN commissioned Opinion Research to run conduct polls in three key states. Iowa, which George Bush won in 2004, seems to be turning into a rout for Obama. He has been ahead there all year, but his lead is now 15 points, 55% to 40%. It will be close to impossible for McCain to overturn that. Minnesota is a state Kerry won, but only by 3 points. Obama now leads there 53% to 41%. But this poll was taken before the convention, which is getting saturation coverage in the state. McCain will likely reduce this lead by next week. Finally, Ohio is still a cliffhanger, with Obama ahead 47% to 45%. No Republican has even been elected President without Ohio, so this state will continue to be a huge battleground.

Just read the commentary from the link this map was posted. Extreme liberal bias. Take a few minutes to read past blogaries/ opinions. Trash.

The pollsters have their agendas. Every one of them. The most ridiculous of all was listening to NBC say the night before Reagan vs Carter that the race was too close to call. They live in a dream world.

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney gave warmup speeches last night in St. Paul, mostly avoiding any mention of John McCain. Their speeches could be seen as tryouts for the start of the 2012 campaign in the event Obama is elected President. Then came the first star of the night, Rudy Giuliani, who attacked Barack Obama bitterly, his voiced dripping with sarcasm the whole time he spoke. The audience loved it, cheering and giving him a standing ovation over and over. At one point he mocked Obama for changing his position on so many things, adding: "I hope for his sake, Joe Biden got that VP thing in writing." It was vintage Giuliani at its best.

Then came Sarah Palin's debut for a national audience. Her speech was written by former White House speechwriter Matthew Scully but she has been rehearsing it for several days with McCain aides coaching her.

How is NY not solid blue?Good question. Probably for the same reasons Texas, Georgia, Missouri, West Virgina and Arizona aren't solid red.

Perhaps the answer to all these questions is "that map no good...."

At least a dozen states on this map are dead wrong . I could have done a better job throwing darts ... or perhaps we're all color blind ? :D
