A Quinnipiac poll hot off the press has the Democratic candidates in great shape in Virginia. The poll shows a Romney/McDonnell ticket would lose to an Obama/Biden ticket, 50 to 43 percent. (Even with a sitting governor on the ticket!) The poll also found that Tim Kaine has a three percentage point lead over George Allen -- 47-44 percent. Good momentum overall, and some more goodies under the fold.
The linked press release states:
President Barack Obama has opened up some daylight in Virginia against his Republican challengers," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "His margin over Romney, in the state where Obama has been struggling after his win in 2008, compares to a slight 47 - 43 percent lead in February."
This is good news for John McCain, as
noted below:
The numbers are an improvement for the Democrats in Virginia, which is considered a crucial swing state for both parties in the fall. Super Tuesday was a dissapointment to many Republican voters in Virginia as well, where only two candidates, Mr. Paul and Mr. Romney, appeared on the ballot. That coupled with the recent unpopular ultrasound bills could damage the Republican candidate in Virginia in the fall.
Ahhh, proves the point that you can't mess with mother nature, or mothers, or mothers to be, or for that matter women.
