Kerry still holds lead in Minnesota

[ButterflyBlood]

you ain't winning here *! People are getting sick of your weasly puppets in the governor's mansion and senate seat too.

But the best news, Nader only at 2! Remember, he got 5 here last time. If he's doing this poorly, Kerry will have no problem at all.

1. Can you give us all the numbers here?

3. seems to me

that the mason dixon polls are across the board bucking trends in favor of Bush in many states, anyone else notice this?

4. I'm sorry to see it so close. Didn't Kerry have a 12 point lead

I'm sorry to see it so close. Didn't Kerry have a 12 point lead here recently?

5. Polls vary a lot state to state.

7. why do they ask us to register?

I mean don't they get sick of seeing us type in "aeraer erse" for full name and [e-mail] as some fake email address? We just want to read 1 article.

8. They probably want you to register so they can spam you

Why else?

9. I sure hope * loses MN ... not to mention the GE A-Course!

10. a three point edge is too close for comfort

but lots of undecideds.

11. Exactly. Lead is within margin of error, but many undecideds

Kerry will do okay in Minnesota-- despite the fact that the BushMonkeys regard us as a "swing state".

Polls this early on really are meaningless. The undecided factor is way too large, and the "lead" (as it is) is within the ±5% margin of error.

However, the Repubs in the state government have been acting like total asses this session, and didn't get a damn thing done. They've been unwilling to compromise on ANYTHING, and their biggest issue is to pass a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

The Repub gov's picks for both Sec. of Education and Transportation Commissioner were rejected by the DFL-controlled state Senate-- a rarity in any event.

The Repubs have high negatives these days, which will probably stay that way through November. They're in some serious sh!t right now, and they know it.

12. I'm not too worried about MN

3 points is close but a similar margin by which Gore won the state.

I never really thought Kerry was up by 12 points. Three actually seems a bit low, and I think most of Nader's support will collapse and a large numbers of undecideds will show up for Kerry.

13. This is a very slight lead

and hope it expands soon. The media is presenting this as chimp/Kerry neck and neck in Minnesota.
