1. Who would've ever guessed that Ga (of all places) might be competitive?

[Robbins]

3. I know

Romney might have to spend money In GA.This shocked me.I never thought Ga would be competive Inless Obama wins In a landslide
similar to 2008.

Back In 2008 Obama never campagined In Georgia In general election except for airing an ad In last week.

Obama lost 47 to 52 to Mccain.This was better than Arizona.

Look at these past election results In georgia

2004-Bush 58 % Kerry 41%
2000-Bush 55% Gore 43%
1996-Dole 47% Clinton 46% Perot 6%
1992-Clinton 43% Bush 43% Perot Perot 13%

Clinton when narrorly beat Bush In 1992(Possibly so close because of Perot) was last Dem to win Ga.Perot may have cost Clinton GA
In 1996.The Black Candiate Obama without doing much campagining was more competive than Gore or Kerry there.

2. He also leads 'Generic Republican' 49-45 in Ohio...

But I don't like this poll. Obama won't be running against 'Generic Republican'. I wish they'd show how he does against Romney.

[Robbins]

4. Well

Romney Is generic Republican.

[aaaaaa5a]

6. The fact that he is now even beating a generic republican is great news.

Beating a generic republican is much more difficult than beating a named republican. The polling out of Ohio looks great.


But.....

HEED MY MANTRA!
