They're all outside the margin of error (2.6) and
the most interesting thing about them is that in all three, independents are opposed to Clinton being on the ticket.

It'll be interesting to see how these states poll once the impact of McCain no long opposing offshore drilling has had time to take effect.

This is impossible.

1. Dems didn't let FL count fully at the Convention so Obama can't possibly win FL.

2. OH and PA are full of hard working white bowlers and they would never vote for a guy who is lazy, only half white and can;t bowl.

3. Clinton won these states in the primary, only she can win them in the general. Both McCain and Obama are screwed.

4. All polls in June are shite

You had a perfect record of humorous nonsense going and then you blew it with 4. The truth will ruin your sarcasm every time.

I just thought saying the word "shite" would have been funny enough. Damn.

It's still early. But though I preferred Clinton over Obama (my baseline: any Democrat'll do), I don't think it a good idea to put her in as VP: first, because one cannot give the slot to a person arguably more prominent than the candidate for president; and second, though all the "negatives" are as phony as 99.99 per cent of the scandals against the Clintons, those would nonetheless be a factor for those who fall for phony scandals, or who fear phony scandals would dominate the agenda during an Obama presidency.

It's a must that the independents be listened to, as that is the area in which McSame has the most to gain, and Obama the most to lose.
