Whoever the nominee is, in 2 reddish states we have help
In VA, Mark Warner who is by far the most popular politician in the state, is on the ballot as a Senate Candidate. He's up over 25 pts over Jim Gilmore.

In NM, Tom Udall is 30 pts up over Heather Wilson and 25 pts up over Steve Pearce.

Having these popular dems on the ballot will help us in both states.

1. Virginia has been trending Dem for some time now
A democratic victory in Virginia is quite possible. Even North Carolina has been edging towards the blue and if Jim Webb were the VP candidate there's a possibility there, too.

What concerns me is some traditionally blue states that seeem to be trending red. Pennsylvania worries me most of all. I don't know what's going on there or why.

2. I'm not sure what's up with PA
but I just don't see the repukes taking it this year- not with McCain and the economic woes we're experiencing.

4. You've got it. That's the heart of it. The rest is fluff.
