1. This is good news

Kerry is not losing any blue state, and NH, OH, FL and CO appear to be very winnable red states. Undecideds go to the challenger, so any state he's behind 4 points or less he can probably win.

3. From your lips to God's ears

I'm a Red Sox fan and I have been working for Kerry since February.

I can't take this much pressure. I want this to be over, but only if we win.......................both.

2. Good news!

* is polling 48% or lower in ALL reported battlegrounds. Kerry is polling at 50% or more in MI, PA, WA, OR - those states are secure. In FL, OH and MN it's tie or 1-ot advantage for *, but since he's polling 47 or 48%, this really means Kerry has the advantage in those states. All in all, very encouraging news. Too bad there's no daily update for WI...
