1. Missouri is CLOSE.

Damn that's close. Taking MO would be a big deal.

3. MO has been very hard hit under *.

The economy in MO has taken a beating under *, something which is true in general of the 'Rust Belt' states. Except for IN, KS, NE and OK, don't assume any Midwestern state is out of reach...

2. Excellent!

Both are red states, so this is great.

4. I've seen Virginia even closer.

Rasmussen puts the Bush lead in Virginia at 3 points. It's been steady at 3 for two months now.

And the Virginia polling data DOES NOT INCLUDE EDWARDS. Polling ended June 30th. The current numbers could show a tie or even a slight Kerry lead.

If Virginia is in play, that's a bad sign for *.
