#1 If your poll shows that Palin isn't making a difference, you need to hire a new pollster.

Well, it is the Strib, they've always needed new pollsters.

#2 The American owmen thing is over played. Would people have been this enthusiastic if he'd chosen K. Bailey Hutchison? I think it's more the Beer issue.

#3 A lot of the gain may be backlash against the percieved press pushgin Obama on the public and slamming (unjustly) Palin.

#4 Alternate title :
Obama campaign dead, McCain draws even in Minnesota.
GOP has not carried this state in Prez Election since 1972, and before that - 1956...

#5 I hope so - but let's not get cocky. A lot can happen between now and the election. I'm hopeful but we have a lot to do between now and then to make this happen.

#6 I'm still not putting a lot of stock in the polls. They could be cooking them to make a Obama "comeback" all that more exciting.
Or they could just be plain stupid.
Either way, the fact that tons of people have been re-energized for McCain/Palin and are lukewarm or over Obama/Biden does not bode well for the dhimocrats.

#8 Maybe Minnesotans realize that a vote for Obama is a vote for carbon taxes. Makes a difference in a cold winter.
