Chuck Todd is my favorite national pundit. He held a Q & A at Newsvine today that resulted in a couple of interesting tidbits. First, note what Todd says about McCain’s prospects in Minnesota:
If Obama allows FL and OH to stay in the GOP column, then Obama must not lose a single Kerry state (and I’d be nervous about MI, NH and PA) and then add both CO and VA or also win NM, NV, IA and either CO or VA…
McCain will end up pulling out of the Northwest… my prediction but he won’t compete there by Oct. 1… But I do think MI, PA and NH are real… I don’t buy MN…
Todd also says he thinks Obama will win Ohio. In fact, Todd seems to see the makings of a big Democratic landslide this fall:
Bottom line, this could be for the Democrats what 1980 was for Reagan and the Republicans. You’ll recall while Reagan didn’t bring in a GOP house, he did find a governing majority in the House (thanks to conservative Southern Dems) and flipped the senate so he had an electoral and governing mandate; and he transformed the GOP for 20 years… this is the same opportunity Obama has. If he doesn’t try it now, he’ll be doomed even if he gets into the White House because his majorities won’t be big enough to withstand a 2010 onslaught.
The GOP picked up 12 Senate seats in 1980. No wonder Norm isn’t sleeping well these days.

I would suggest Norm is sleeping just fine. But if you insist and persist in perpetuate your falsehoods, continue on.
But on the topic, the MN Polling Report page still gives Franken the lead in the previous 3 polls when in fact the numbers are switched and the lead belongs to Coleman. This is the 3rd time I’ve pointed this out.
Sean2-
You do realize that Coleman has been unopposed, while Franken has been busy in a delegate gathering fight, right?
Keep those blinders in place, fella.
