Republicans are going to have to start spending money in previous red state strongholds.
arizona is going to end up being a tighter race than the romney camp predicted.

I read on CNN Michigan is within 3 points, now Obama extends his lead in Wisconsin. I cannot keep this crap straight anymore but it is starting to give me a stomach ache.

For some reason, some just want to instigate PANIC! and create as much in-fighting and "Obama blaming" as they can on here rather than a positive dialogue about things such as what the Obama team strategy should be from here on out, as well as urging DU'ers in swing states and light-blue states (or those from red states who have the time available to help volunteer and be a part of the ground game in a crucial swing state that may be near-by) to volunteer, help other dems get a ride to the polls if they aren't able to, and GOTV.

It's much easier to bitch and moan and take on the "woe is me" attitude regarding every single poll that comes out from here to election day, which I expect to fluctuate back-and-forth and won't really tell us anything other than a snapshot of the moment and which states are truly in play.

And of course it's good news for the state of Minnesota.

I think the reason it isn't getting as much attention is probably a valid one - MN is not what will determine this election. It hasn't voted Republican since 1972. It was in fact the ONLY state that did not vote for Reagan in the 49 state landslide in 1984.

Therefore, people are much more concerned with what is happening in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Nevada, Iowa etc.
