Thank you. Actually I think the ground game does make a bit of a difference. We've just been told the details of our nightmarish but hopefully difference making election weekend. Unfortunately it seems the resources don't include a dose of meth to keep us from zombifying by Tuesday.

Re: Monday Open Thread (none / 0)

I apparently stand corrected after having said to you that your time in Virginia would be more valuable. Over the last week or two, especially now with this poll, I've been starting to think Obama will win Missouri. He's running up absolutely crushing margins in St Louis and Kansas City, and he ain't doing too badly in "Missouruh" either.

That's been the key for Democratic wins in Missouri for as long as I can remember. Keep the losses in the hinterland to a minimum and rack up the win in St. Lou and KC.

I'm flabbergasted by how well (comparatively speaking) this poll shows him doing in SW Missouri - John Ashcroft/Roy Blunt territory. I mean, he's not going to win there but if he can stay at 40% the cities will easily make up the rest for him.

Rasmussen poll shows it tighter - but he's still ahead.

I'm trying not to get greedy but I can't remember the last time we had an election in Missouri that wasn't close.

Re: Monday Open Thread (none / 0)

Ras showing it close is a good sign given the tendencies of his polls. I'm going to be interested to see what PPP has to say on it tomorrow, as well as their take on NC.

I suspect it'll be slightly tighter than SUSA in MO and maybe a 5-point lead for Obama in NC (the 6-pointer from a week or two ago struck be as too generous, but I suspect a 4- or 5-point lead is not out of the realm of possibility given Virginia).

Getting 40% in the SW is AMAZING.

Columbia (U of M) should also go hot for Obama in an otherwise Red Sea.

From afar it looks like the McCaskill coalition plus.

Just FYI.

Good job! It's true. You arrived and the polls jumped.

Can you come back in 2010 when we want to defeat Kit Bond?
