Why? Because of his support over the battle stripping bargaining rights from public employees.

Huge loss for republicans, as this was as a given gop endorsement for the last 50 years...

That is a huge concern. I mean, look at what happened in Wisconsin. All those irate voters came out to throw the SOB out of office, err, I mean re-elect him by a higher margin. That will show him!

FOP? What is that? A union with a history of endorsing Republicans?

Default RCP now has Virginia at a tie for the first time!

Obama has consistently held a slim lead on the RCP poll for Obama, however today that lead is gone and Romney has pulled it even in the Old Dominion.

1). Is it significant? Who knows. I hope
2). Will the lead get bigger? Once again...I hope
3). Will the liberals on this site try to belittle the significance of it by enlisting their ever-expansive ways to misspell Romney's name, insults against him personally, and plethora of emoticon punctuated, utterly incoherent sentences? You betcha


Well, I just threw some chum in the water...lets see what bites.

Crap, I almost forgot again. I know that libs love these things...Here it is......

Yayyy Shiny stuff and funny faces!

Va is going to cause gray hair for pollsters for a long time, as we are seeing the NEW Va emerge. An ever growing NOVA, with a stagnant rest of state, whose partisanship is 180 degrees apart.

A partisan earthquake fault line.

I grew up in southwest VA near the Tennessee border and once you crossed I64 on I81 headed north it becomes totally different. The capital of the south is losing it's roots and the boswash corridor is extending further into the state.

That was Wisconsin not Ohio...

After the employees were stripped of their rights by the elected government, the unions were able to gather enough votes and put it up to a state wide referendum. The voters rejected the law by a 61 to 39%....

Ohio Voters Reject Public-Union Limits - WSJ.com

Ohio is the key state for Romney he cannot win without it...

Here's another reason Gallup cannot be trusted.

The obama campaign was whining and crying about Gallup's presidential approval tracker for a long time, saying the pollster was not reflecting the NONwhite vote accurately. So what does Gallup do 2 months before presidential election?

Decrease the WHITE vote by close to 20%. I bet most of you didn't even know this, didn't understand why obama's approval rating in Gallup (53,52%) was such an outlier.

Did Gallup change its sampling under pressure from the Left? « Hot Air

Remember, Gallup is STILL using adults in the prez approval tracker.

Is this before or after the 2010 election, where republicans SWEPT the state?
