1. If Obama takes all Kerry states plus IA, NM and VA he is president.

[malik flavors]

8. If he gets the Kerry states he only needs VA and IA. He wouldn't even need NM.

[Bicoastal]

14. But it doesn't matter--cause we're going to win New Mexico.

It's turning dark blue.

[WI_DEM]

16. That's right both NM and IA look very good for Obama.

[Arrowhead2k1]

2. Good gawd man. Does this mean MSNBC is finally going to move VA out of the tossup column?

[Connie_Corleone]

18. They should. Virginia is dark blue at this point.

So is New Mexico and Iowa. Obama over 270.

20. RIGHT!!! The trends have been near 10 in that state for almost a month!!!

3. keep up the hate right wing....

[bushisanidiot]

13. Exactly. The more hateful they get the more it backfires and boosts Obama's numbers.

and once the hate machine get's a rollin' there's no way to get the repuke base to turn it off. Hate has taken over the McCain campaign. They are McHate now.

15. McCain the Hateful Fascist and His Nazi Brownshirts

are destroying themselves.

4. I think that's the election guys- this isn't the first poll to show this

[Stagecoach]

5. On Chuck Todd's map

He has Obama at 264....and he's not including Colorado or Virginia. Obama's going to take 1 of those 2 states and that'll put him over 270. I have no clue why Chuck Todd keeps listing those 2 states as toss-ups....especially Virginia.

[BluegrassDem]

12. Chuck Todd's been a tool lately

Even the Virginia GOP says McCain is in deep shit in VA! Everyone knows this but Chucky apparently. VA is anything but a tossup. It's certainly a 'lean Obama' if not a 'solid Obama' state. He's trying his best not to give Obama 270 EV's.

[malik flavors]

17. Nobody is more hesitant than Chuck Todd to give Obama 270. Even ROVE has Obama over 270.

[uponit7771]

22. Todd has to stick to the "horse race" meme otherwise he'll have nothing to talk about

[jezebel]

6. But what is REAL Virginia polling? nt

[Lucky 13]

7. Well, that's the Northern Virginia Commies for you!

:sarcasm:

10 points is HUGH!!!1!
Gobama!

[Hope And Change]

9. Yay...K & R!

[Schulzz]

10. Obama will win VA and this will put him over top.

VA + IA + NM = win. It doesn't matter what the national polls are showing on November 3. If he holds his solid lead in those states he is president - the Kerry states polling is looking even better.

[cbc5g]

11. Wow...just WOW ... GO VA!! I vote absentee in my local office this week

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Ouchies...

:rofl:

[StrongBad]

21. Why is Virginia outperforming OH and FL by such a large margin?

I seriously never expected this but am thrilled. I had the impression that folks in VA were much more conservative (in general) then in OH or FL. Why is Obama playing so well here?

[alsame]

24. Haven't you heard? Northern VA is full

of Commies who support Obama :sarcasm:

[Sydnie]

23. but, but, but ....

MSNBC just had a guy on from Virginia that said they were winning the SIGN war in VA! They said that they were putting up 1,000 signs a week!


Last time I checked, signs didn't vote, but well, how can you fight it when their signs are winning? :sarcasm: ;)

[JBTO26]

25. now this is GOOD NEWS !!!!

VA polls are the most important right now. If VA is called for Obama, the election is over.
