1. Americans still voting against their best interests ...

figures!

2. Obama's doing fine in this poll. All those states went to Bush in 2004

Obama is up in Colorado and while they have NM as leaning towards McCain most other polls have Obama up in that state. Nevada is going to be close and we have an outside chance in McCain's home state.
Utah and Wyoming are not factors as they are solid red states.

3. Mason Dixon polls are particularly unfriendly toward Dems

These are good numbers actually. I'm also not particularly worried about NM. Obama is doing well among Latinos and every other poll I have seen has had him up in the state. I'm thinking this is the outlier. NV will be tougher, but I think he has good shot there as well.

The AZ numbers are quite close and this isn't the first to show that. And I can't help but thinking Biden will help. These numbers are likely pre-VP.
