PPP: Romney leads by 12 in Missouri

[WI_DEM]

53-41

bigger than most leads for Mittens in Missouri--but remember the poll was taken during the GOP convention so this is probably giving Mittens a bit of a boost, though we certainly don't expect Obama to carry Missouri.

1. They also have Akin up by 1. I'm not a PPP fan, but for a place like Missouri, I wouldn't doubt it.

I know there must be some great Democrats that live in that STate, but overall my impression of Missouri, is that it's the Blow Me State.

2. Clariifaction

its mcaskil thats up by 1 not akin =)

i do have to say though that mcaskil just isnt very popular in missouri, in fact shes kind of hated in large parts of missouri.. THE GOOD NEWS IS this moron akin is her best chance to win! if she runs a deciliplined campaign. i really think she could beat akin. The repubs HATE AKIN for fucking a seat they thought they had in a bag.

Romney being up in missouri isnt to much of a shock. i dont think or didnt think he was going to win that state.. but he DOESNT need that state anyway

3. spelling

sorry about the spelling errors. but one quick note. mcaskil is also not attacking akin to much before the 25th september deadline .. she thinks if she attacks akin to much and he falls to far in the polls he will leave in september. shes holding her fire!

4. Smart strategy

McCaskill is a smart woman. Very astute and politically calculating.
