How is "white working class" being defined here [qm]

Obama wins PA by 9 and loses NH by 10 ? Very strange. I believe they are outliers, Quinnipiac somewhat favors the Democrats and the NH poll favors McCain ...

Wow.  Obama is a real powerhouse.  Running even with McCain in Florida and Ohio plus punking mcCain in Pa and all this during his Wright down cycle.  Who knew.

These numbers are very good for Obama. I kind of doubt the Florida numbers though, and I have a hard time believing that any of the Dems is leading McCain by that much in Pennsylvania at the moment.

Maybe after a week and a half without hearing from them PA isn't quite as sick of them now.
