1. PA looks decent

A little close but 4 points is better than some of the other polls have had. Interestingly, I'm not sure I've ever seen a poll with McCain leading in PA, even though some polls have been close or even tied.

Oregon is good news too...Obama's winning it by a much bigger margin than Kerry or Gore won it.

11. Oregon was considered a "battleground" state in the last two presidential elections -- not any more.

The state is safely blue, and getting bluer by the day. Democratic registration is soaring.

2. All of em are fine. Without Clinton, we never had a prayer in AR

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Which always strikes me as being rather strange. We have a Democratic

governor, both Senators are Democrats as well as 3 out of 4 U. S. Representatives. However, McCain will probably take the state.

7. There's a recent "Dick Morris Electoral map" that has AR as a "toss-up"

I don't think I've ever seen anything indicate that Arkansas was suddenly in play, although I expect it's like how West Virginia has been polling despite having similarly strong Democratic representation.

9. Dick Morris is a colossal retard

14. Indiana solid McCain and Arkansas toss-up...

:wtf:

[gatorboy]

12. Yeah, generally we are a "blue" state.

But we still have way too many bigots in this state (and unfortunately, that includes racist Dems)

[Arkansas Granny]

15. There's really no excuse for it, but some people find it very hard to change the attitudes

they learned as children. I know many people of all political persuasions who truly believe that they are not racist, but their words and actions prove that they are on some level.

[AllieB]

4. I expected MA to have a higher percentage for Obama.

I have yet to see a McSame sticker here. Our entire congressional delegation is Democratic.

[Schulzz]

5. I don't like ARG polls but I would take these results nt

6. What??! I'm outraged that Obama's only 18 points up on McCain here in Vermont.

All kidding aside, those polls look good to me.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. It should be 40% yaaaaaargh

;-)

[Abacus]

8. That's not a terrible result in AR, Obama takes 50% of independents.

He has no chance of winning it, but I think it bodes well for places like Virginia and West Virgina.

10. I'm politicking as fast as I can trying to unsink Arkansas....

; ) It's pretty murky down here but every so often, a convert will pop up.
