1. Going to sleep on this!

THANKS!

2. Probably not one we can pull off

I would expect the poll will show Romney with a wider lead in a few weeks, maybe in the 8-10% range in SD.

3. We should go for it, I suspect Romneys recent comments on pulling wind energy funding

will/is not going over well.

4. Not happening, go hard in Florida and end it early.

5. +1

We pick off Florida, and that's it. Considering how much we're going to be outspent by the GOP, the campaign really shouldn't waste too many resources on long shot states like SD. The House race looks good though. SD is one of those red states that occasionally splits its ticket.

6. Well, SD won't be a win but it's stunning how many people missed the real story--the house race

where a GOP incumbent, according to this poll, is fighting for her political survival in a supposedly GOP state.

[Robbins]

7. Well

If Obama was going to be close to Romney you would think In what be ND and not SD.

But the incumbent congressman In deadheat with Democratic challenger In Red state? That Is news.

Don't forget Both the dakots have had history of voting Republican for President and democrats for Congress.In ND there Is actully
a chance of Democrat keeping the open senate seat.

Despite what some would have you believe there Is real fight for Congress this year now thanks to redistricting Democrats may fall
short of getting 25 seats they have chance to pick up some house seats and keep the senate.

8. This makes me more confident in retaking the House.

9. There is a thread about Obama winning with 332 EV

So if it looks like like PA and FL are locked in, then he should throw in an ad or 2 in the cities. Help out the downticket folks. He'll need the help in the House.
