Interesting. When I heard there'd be another NC poll today, I expected McCain's margin to be up substantially from the last poll (taken right after the NC primary, with McCain up only 3). Now it's down!? Like Alcon said: Virginia, Virginia, Virginia!

Really?

You expected McCain to be up higher in NC after a boost to Obama from the Democratic love fest with Clinton dropping out?

I expected a lead between 1 and 4 points which will rise slowly until Denver, fall again to about this level, and rise at an unknown rate following Minneapolis-St. Paul.

As for Virginia, I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar lead, right now, for Obama.

Many people from the right wing echo chamber have told us over the last few months that Obama has no chance of winning in North Carolina. Those who said that North Carolina was in play (like Josh22) were derided as lunatics by many right wingers.

And you expected Obama to lead in North Carolina? This strikes me as a classic case of "moving the goalposts"..

No, I said I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama lead in VA.

Another state that the right wing echo chamber, led by AHHDuke, told us Obama had no chance to win, and if we did say so, we were a bunch of Obama-homers.

You really are ignorant, aren't you?

I'm getting confused by all the spin and talking points from the right wing echo chamber.
