In the last 2 presidential elections Wisconsin went for the dems only 0.4 and 0.2%. If this holds anywhere close it truly is a HUGE landslide!
This confirms an 8% National lead and yes a potential landslide, if November 4th!
WI should now turn dark blue
WI, MI, and PA should all be dark blue now. Probably MINN too, but OK for light Blue
I want more MN, MO and NH polls! A WV one would be nice, too.
On Wisconsin!
Another state where McCain has wasted precious $$ and resources. You know, if you looked a rough electoral map back in July or August, it basically was identical to 2004 and even 2000. but the McCain campaign felt strongly they could swing these close + Gore/Kerry states (like WI and MN) back to red. Now he's in real danger of losing states he never thought he'd have to worry about.. and forget about turning the prior blue states.
Republican polling firm--so in all likelihood, Obama's probably up at least 12 here. Go ahead, McCain--blow a lot of money in Milwaukee. It's less money you can spend in Denver, Charlotte, or DC.
Minnesota is up 11 in a recent poll, so should be dark blue (and as a Minnesota I suspect it will be on 5 Nov)! Wisconsin will be a waste of resources for McCain, but let him waste them there rather than spending them on Virginia, Ohio or Florida. He thinks he can still win by hanging on to most Bush 2004 states (losing Iowa and New Mexico for sure, and can even lose Colorado and Nevada) and flipping Wisconsin to the Red. It won't happen. We still have pretty good education systems up here in the Upper Midwest, so we aren't as easily duped by GOP propaganda.
See ya later McStunt!
