We need new polls in Minnesota and Missouri!

[NJSecularist]

These are very important, yet underrated states. Both have 88 delegates at stake. A definitive win either way by either candidate could really hurt the other candidate.

Everybody knows about Mass., NJ and CA, but these two are very important states too.

3. Nothing very new from MO but looks to be a Clinton state

The last poll was Clinton + 20 with Edwards (18%) still in the race.

Here is one analysis:
" Culturally, Missouri is probably as much a Southern state as it is a Midwestern state, and a Southern state with just 12% African-American population spells trouble for Obama. Clinton is also fighting for this one, having made three visits since the first of the year. Still, this is the one state where the distribution of Edwards’ support could have the most effect on the outcome, and an actual endorsement by Edwards might be enough to swing the momentum to Obama."

4. Missouri is still a very racially backwards state.........

I'm sure there are many Missouri Dems that would never even consider voting for Sen. Obama because he's African-American.
