FREEPERS RESPOND to this poll!

To: Abbeville Conservative
I disagree. George Bush easily took WV both times (I believe), yet the election came down to Florida (2000) and Ohio (2004). Current polling, albeit early, have Obama ahead in Ohio (not to mention Colorado, New Mexico, and Iowa). A Flip of those states hands Obama the election.

To: rom
We have elected the lesser of two evils in the eyes of the voters every time since 88, even if our side won. We are consistently voting against candidates, not for them.

1. Why are you promoting Freeper shit here -- today?

2. .Its not promotion

its a warning to get ready for the battle ahead. / W. Va. favors McCain. this is not news. Also on the fence are Wisconsin , Minnesota , Michigan , And Missouri.

3. Minnesota will not go red.

not this year....

In November MN will be as blue as any state in the union.

[cyclezealot]

13. In the end I think you are correct

But, presently polls show, Obama might need to spend more time in Minnesota than he might otherwise desire, when he could be in say , Missouri or Ohio.

4. Wow, 18% Undecided

WV is not a battle ground state, the only person who made that shit up by HRC.
