Poll: Obama ahead in critical counties
n Bucks County, a politically competitive but historically Republican suburb that shares a border with Philadelphia, Obama is running ahead of McCain, 47-41 percent. In 2004, Democrat John F. Kerry carried the county by a slim 51 percent to 48 percent.

Obama bests McCain 50 percent to 42 percent in Prince William County, a Washington, D.C., suburb that voted for George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004. Between 1976 and 2004, Prince William County supported Republican presidential candidates by an average margin of 18 points.

Obama also has opened up a wide 53 percent to 37 percent advantage over McCain in suburban St. Louis County, which does not include Missouri’s second-largest city, St. Louis. In 2004, Sen. John F. Kerry, the Democratic nominee, carried St. Louis County, the most populous county in the state, 54 percent to 45 percent.

This campaign is awesome and Dr. Dean's 50 state strategy is awesome.
It's as simple as..... run a good candidate and "ASK ALL VOTERS for their vote."
