VA, NC, MI Rasmussen Polls

Allegedly, Rasmussen shows both candidates in a tie with McCain in Michigan. As for Virginia, it is McCain 47%, Obama 44%; McCain 47%, Hillary 41%. In North Carolina, it is McCain
47%, Obama 44%; McCain 43%, Hillary 40%.

These numbers are good for both candidates, especially for North Carolina and Virginia. The Michigan poll numbers are a little disappointing for both but then again, neither candidate has campaigned there while McCain has spent a decent amount of time in that state and has held fundraisers in Michigan. Michigan is probably more of a must-win for Obama than it is for Clinton given his difficulties in Ohio. Pandering on NAFTA should allow both candidates to keep this state blue in the end.

very promising numbers, if anything this election has shown that Obama and Clinton's numbers go up as they continue to campaign.

I would say at this point we're starting to see a little desperation on the part of the woman who I support... NY Governor Paterson

Yes, these numbers look very good. Michigan, we would win in a Democratic year like this one. McCain is pro NAFTA. That's a killer in MI and OH.

If I were advising the Obama team, I'd say they should get Barack hitched to the waist with Mark Warner. Hit those rural areas in SW Virginia. VA can flip but it would take an intense effort from the Obama campaign.

Warner (none / 0)

is probably the only candidate that I would favor for a VP slot than Hillary (Strickland too if putting him on the ticket would guarantee Obama Ohio). If this race took place in 2012 and Warner had four years of Senate experience, he would have cleaned both Hillary and Obama's clocks.

Warner is a man's man, the Freddy Couples of the Democratic party. If Hillary got the nomination, Warner is probably the only candidate that I would favor for a VP slot over Obama.
