It's a breakdown by the New York Times...

That's like the Conservatives pushing a Limbaugh poll...

I really don't see Minn. as being a toss up. They have a rep. for electing people who are outside of "the Establishment" and as the campaign progresses, we should see more and more of McCain/Palin being presented as just this and Obama/Biden as part of the Establishment.

Also, don't count Oregon out just yet. The conservative parts of the state are the fastest growing and could easily swing this state the other way.

That would be kind of weird, cause its around the same numbers as Bush/Gore only in reverse.

I'm only throwing it out there for consumption...

It's not an attempt to sway or correlate on my part...

People can conclude how they wish...and you just did...

Personally, I don't put too much stock in polls (unless they are overwhelmigly to one side)...

I'm just doing it for update purposes...

Oh I didn't conclude anything. I was merely remarking that if that was the count in November (which as we all know can change at the drop of a pair of shorts), it would be funny because it would be the opposite of the G?B election.
Funny in this way:
Two of the closest elections in history, ending for the opposite candidate, there would surely be the same old tired arguments over the merits of an electoral college. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

I'm just waiting for the exit polls during election day...

Remember them?...The media tried to pull a fast one and pretend to document Kerry leading in the polls early so voters who were voting later in the day wouldn't bother...

...until it was found out they were wrong and Bush won by 3 million votes...
