mccain Beats Clinton & Obama In Wisconsin
A rassmussen poll from the WisPolitics site:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/wisconsin/election_2008_wisconsin_presidential_election

What do you think this means? Are there any other polls to corroborate/refute this?
Please share if you have some.

Thanks

1. It means very little at this point. mccain has not been vetted. The issues will be very clear
The Iraq War
Healthcare
Jobs
The Supreme Court

These are the top issues, and there will be no doubt where the Democrats stand verses mccain

It will be the clearest choice we have had in a long time

I believe once those issues are brought up, and especially where mccain stands on those issues, those poll numbers will change

If they don't, then the people in this country can eat it, and they deserve the consequences of their actions

2. I doubt that the deer population gets to vote in Wisconsin.

And the badgers would decimated McCain one on one even though some call McCain a war hero. I sure as hell don't consider anyone who spent his time at Hotel Hanoi as a POW a hero.

3. It means we're still in a primary
That will change once the battle begins - probably 10 times over.

4. 10% Undecided...
In a race like this McCain is virtually the incumbent -- 100 more years in Iraq, anyone? Undecideds typically break hard for the challenger. At least, that's the conventional wisdom 48 hours before an election. At this stage of the game, I don't think the numbers mean much of anything. McCain is going to get saddled with the baggage of every Bush Administration policy and scandal that he enabled as a Senator. I'm guessing he's going to melt in the summer, and then the bounce from the Democratic Convention is going to create a lead that McCain won't be able to overcome.
