1. I really HOPE he does well in MN, but I think this info will just push

McNuts to select Polente(sp) as his VP.

2. People from MN on this board say Pawlenty isn't that popular

in the state and wouldn't make much difference? Is that no longer the truth?

6. Well.... if he isn't that popular there then they might be more than willing

to get rid of him by voting for McCain. Seriously, I hope not and what could he add to McCain that would make a difference?

7. I have no idea. The reason I said that is because Obama seems to be

gaining popularity in that State, and most of the time, the person on the ticket wins their home state for that ticket. Maybe that's no longer true?

It's like Obama trying to win Az. I would be very surprised if he could do that because McNuts is from there and has been their Senator for 20+ years!

3. I don't think Pawlenty would deliver the state to McCain. nm

4. Nice

Has Quinnipiac polled these states before? They are very reputable in the Northeast...do they have experience polling these other states? Either way, this is good news.

5. Minnesota and Wisconsin have been looking good for Obama for a while

Good to see him outside the margin of error in Colorodo too.

8. Good to see a lack of weakness in MN and MI

Some polls have made it look too close there.
