42-54, Obama's best polling result there.

3. Don't get any hopes up. I'd LOVE to see Ky go Obama but, uh, not happening.

:(

4. That's true

but Obama is doing surprisingly well. This bodes well nationally.

5. Sadly, I agree.

There's not enough time, for one thing. And we're a pretty deliberately dumb state, about as determined as a homing pigeon to live up to our moronic reputation.

Obama yard signs outnumber McCain's in my whitebread Cincinnati suburb south of the river, but that's certainly not a gauge when compared to past elections -- probably just indicates more intense support.

7. If he's only down 8 here, that means he probably isn't getting clobbered in rural Ohio.

Which is very similar to KY.

6. Uh oh. Word is getting out about McHate's plans to tax medical benefits

and cut $800 billion from Medicare and Medicaid
after we gave $800 billion to the wealthy on Wall Street.

Uh oh.

They hung up on the robocall but watched the ad about taxing our benefits and cutting Medicare.
