ND: Rasmussen: McCain leads North Dakota by 1%

[WalterMitty]

kansas values or not, i still dont see much of a way obama wins nd.

republicans will eventually come home once mccain starts acting like a presidential candidate.  he will win nd by at least 5 points.

here is a question to the experts and josh, if clinton couldnt win nd in 92 or 96 (with the help of perot)  how does obama win in 08?  i would argue that bill clinton fits the state better than obama.

Clinton wasn't particularly popular in the plain states or the rocky mountains to the best of my knowledge.

when was the last time colorado and montana went democrat?

1. Obama's from the Midwest.

2. Republicans outside the South and a few other spots (Utah, Orange County) are alienated from the current party in a way they weren't in the 1990s.

1. obama is from hawai'i...raised in indonesia (as he mentioned many times when he attempted to explain his foreign policy credentials).  he decided to locate to chicago, the second city, after law school to become a poverty pimp (pc translation: community organizer).  how does this fit in with nd?

2.  the republican brand wasnt in good shape in 92 either.  although granted they werent as bad off as they are today.
