1. Interesting another poll had the same numbers with it going the opposite way.

We shall see. GOTV is crucial.

2. either way the governor's race has gotten closer than it was a month ago, which is

good news. I agree GOTV will be crucial.

3. The other poll was Strickland's claim of internal numbers.

The race appears to be narrowing slightly, but the public polling makes it pretty clear that Strickland still has some work to do.
