PurplePoll: Obama ahead in VA and CO; Romney ahead in OH and FL

The streak argument is a bit weak, that's just because it happened to be Mondale's home state in 1976-1984.

Clearly, the upper Midwest was more Democratic in general back in the day than it is now. Minnesota seems like a generally competitive state during the last decade, which is really what counts.

IIRC Ed Rollins also claimed that it looked like Reagan would've won Minnesota too if he'd asked for a recount, but they didn't want to rub it in.  Standard Ed Rollins caveat, of course.
