1. Whoa

Texas.:-(

[rpannier]

2. I'm surprised Obama is not better in WI

Democrats always do better in NJ than the polls reflect

and I'm not surprised about TX

[MadBadger]

5. Why?

He was down 4 in their last poll. Kerry only won Wisco by 10,000 votes in 2004

[rpannier]

22. Proximity to Wisconsin

The republikkans are struggling in the state.
I figured he'd be doing better

[Carrieyazel]

26. Proximity means little. McCain is behind in New Mexico.

Wisconsin always quite close in presidential elections, even though at other levels the state party is in free fall.

[sandnsea]

7. Is Nader included in Wisconsin polls?

Kerry took Wisconsin by 11,400 votes. Nader got 16,400, 1% of the vote. Maybe that's where some of the WI vote is going in the poll.

[rpannier]

23. Possibly

I was just surprised

[Arkana]

3. That Texas news is disheartening, but it's good to see he's winning NJ I guess.

[hokies4ever]

11. Take with a grain of salt until V.P. pick

Richardson might change some of those numbers.

[malik flavors]

4. FYI: The Texas poll was taken before any possible "unity bounce."

[Carrieyazel]

27. Yeah, but 13 points behind after Obama clinched? Can't believe TX was being put in play.

Texas, of all states??

[Thrill]

6. TX is a lost cause

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

9. 2012

The Dem. infastructure in the state hasn't so much gone to rot, as it has completely dried up and blown away. The idea that Obama could take a state that big and that expensive this round is about as likely as McCain taking California.

[Hippo_Tron]

14. Yup, that's the only reason Senator Box-Turtle will cruise to re-election too

Noriega would give him a serious run for his money if Texas wasn't so big and expensive.

[SoCalDem]

21. That's why I like the idea of going after Alaska, Colorado & a small bit of nebraska

If he can get Virginia, the map speaks for itself.
Bob Barr may give us Georgia too :)

[Major Hogwash]

15. Stop with the negativity!

Or stop posting here.

All states are in play this year.

[AZ Criminal JD]

18. Did you buy the site?

[Major Hogwash]

19. Are you from Texas?

Want something, punk?

[AZ Criminal JD]

28. I'm from a real state, Bama

You don't have what I want. I don't swing that way.

[MrRobotsHolyOrders]

8. Good enough

A huge part of the McCain narrative is, "He appeals to Democrats in Wisconsin and Michigan." If Obama can put a bullet in the narrative's head early, the new story becomes, "Obama Close in Virginia, Missouri, and North Carolina; McCain forced to bet it all on holding Ohio."

[bluedawg12]

10. He is up across the board, on all polls by 4.2!

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/

05/29 - 06/08 -- Obama 47.7 McSame 43.5 Obama +4.2

Rassmussen and gallup have him up by 6.

[scarface2004]

12. texas is not that stupid.....

we re gonna stuff mclame...you watch!

[Hippo_Tron]

13. We need some new numbers on Michigan, the last poll had 22% undecided

[bluedawg12]

16. Here's Michigan from RCP

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/mi/michigan_mccain_vs_obama-553.html

Average: McCain +3.0

[muryan]

17. Last poll being almost a month old

I wouldnt put much weight on it.

[sweet baby jesus]

20. people in Texas need some Mo-Bama

[ConanTheDestroyer]

24. McCain will be a spec in the review mirror by November

McCain has no shot. He is a creepy old man, with anger management issues. He has zero new ideas and is too easily connected to Bush. The truth is already starting to leak on the Bush administration. They are villains and the truth can only be suppressed for so long. Obama landslide.

[ConanTheDestroyer]

25. that would be rearview mirror
