I hope this is true…

Yeah, the interesting thing is they have McCain winning AZ by only 6 and losing CO while at the same time winning NM… if these didn’t come from Mason-Dixon, one of the best state pollsters out there, I’d be saying they were no good.

I hope this is true also - McCain just needs one out of NM, CO, and Michigan and he will be POTUS imo.

three mason dixon polls came out today. this is by far the best news of the 3.
August 24th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
sampo, there were actually six polls from M-D out today: NV, WY, UT, AZ, NM, and CO.
McCain led in NV, WY, UT, AZ, and NM, but lost CO.

“I hope this is true…” I doubt it, it is mason-dixon known for quality state polling, but the sample’s also only 400 and taken over a week ago.

If he wins in New Mexico, this thing is over. If Obama can’t win there, he can’t flip any red states except Iowa.

Wow! We may have a chance here, then. That’s amazing.

First of all, all of these states are within the margin of error, and there are within the margin of error of each of other. So I don’t know what the probablility is that any of these states are different. But didn’t McCain say something about diverting more water from Colorado, and that this water would go to Arizona or NM, or something like that. I wonder if we could see some movement toward McCain in AZ and NM, and away from him in CO. The KOSites were talking about how stupid it was for McCain to side against CO in the water debate, but it may have been a matter of sacrificing CO for NM.

Oh, is there anything McCain could do to make people trust him more about public lands. I could see this being a big deal in the west, and Obama’s whipping McCain on that issue. Maybe McCain should go out to Colorado and make a speech about the issue or something.

As they say in the West: “Liquor is for drinking, water is for fighting.”
