AP Breaking: Quinnipiac Polls show Obama ahead BIG in FL PA & OH

[Perky]

The new surveys show Obama leading McCain in Florida 51 percent to 43 percent, in Ohio 50 percent to 42 percent and in Pennsylvania 54 percent to 39 percent.

Since 1960, no president has been elected without winning two of those three states.

1. Happy to R this! n/t

[OKNancy]

2. Quinnipiac in case people want to know what "Q" means

[Marsala]

3. Now that's more like it

It was seriously bizarre that Obama was consistently ahead in Virginia and even in North Carolina but behind in Ohio and Florida.

[Hope And Change]

4. K & R!

5. KICKING!!!!! Great news n/t

[polichick]

6. OMG - now I have to do a happy dance! :)

[Kahuna]

7. Yee haw!!!! I just sent this breaking news to Morning Joe!!!

:evilgrin:

[Gman]

8. It ain't over

don't nobody start celebrating! It ain't over. These phucks overthrew the US government in 2000. THey are capable of anything, literally.

[DCBob]

9. Fantastic! The PA is most reassuring. PA is a must win. It is a sollid blue now.

If those leads hold in either OH or FL -- its over. This could be a landslide folks.

[aaaaaa5a]

13. I agree about PA...

If Obama wins PA, I think he wins the election. If he can anchor that state, from there he has too many options to get to 270 for one of them to be blocked.

The Ohio and Florida numbers are great. But the Keystone number is the most important.

[WinkyDink]

16. PA was never in question. EVER.

[tekisui]

17. Agreed, mcPOW never had a real chance there.

[liberal N proud]

14. A steady hand and hard work has produced these numbers

Soon, we'll be talking of the genius of Barack Obama as a candidate, and less about the Big Dog.

Barack has been pretty steady this entire time, which has absolutely worked. He's nuanced policy here and there, but overall, he's been steady. And he's working in states like Indiana which is giving the Republicans fits.

That nom speech and his campaign so far reveals him for me to be a genius. Even on the bailout, he's staked out a responsible position.

[Perky]

19. The next polls to watch for are Missouri and Indiana

If they go light blue, it is over. and the board is pretty much locked,

Partly becauise all McCain can do is attack on nonsense issues and wind up looking mean and flailing. Part because early voting has already started,

If Palin looks foolish tomorrow night, We might even nab Arizona,

[Patiod]

21. I say to everyone on the fence "judge them by their campaigns"

because that's how these men are going to run their administrations

Barack clearly knows how to pick the right people, and how to run a huge organization.

A steady hand indeed - and that's what this country is going to need in the next 4 years.

[Cosmocat]

25. Dude has been zen like 97% of the time ...

I mean, he has been in a near complete Tao state the whole time.

A same the media WILLINGLY buried his nomination speech after two days to Palinify.

He had the benefit of doing it in the right year - when the whole republican platform was exposed for the vacuous front for the ultra rich that it is, but is LOOKS like he is going to be beat back what latent racism exists in the country, the MSM and the Clintons along the way - YES, this looks to be the best presidential campaign we have ever witnessed.

[Botany]

15. Landslide.

29. My Electoral Prediction map is getting closer to reality...

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

30. I think he'll win NC

[Greyskye]

32. I hope so, but didn't call it that way as it's gone (R) the past 4 general elections

1992 = Bush < 1%
1996 = Dole = 4%
2000 = Bush = 12%
2004 = Bush = 12%

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. Has it ever been this close? And have registration polls reached record numbers?

NC is changing in demographics as well. I think it's amazing and not at all an insurmountable task.

I hope I'm right, but the trends look good. ;)

[Bullet1987]

34. You think he'll lose NC, but win Louisiana?

[Greyskye]

35. Here is why I think there's a shot in Louisiana

I explained my reasoning for losing NC above.

Two reasons for winning LA:

1) There is historic Democratic strength there. Clinton won there by 4% and 12% in 1992 and 1996.
2) Katrina and Rita. Lots of anger down there at the Republican failure of leadership in the aftermath of these disasters. Ike didn't do much to install any confidence either.

This is just my WAG. We'll see come November! :bounce:

31. I was beginning to wonder what was up with Ohio?
