I tend to agree with this trend. It is pretty much what I predicted at the start of the year. I think before it is all said and done Bush will pick up Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota and should have an electoral landslide to go along with a five to six point popular vote win.

We simply cannot be overly-optimistic. The polls on the left still have Kerry leading. It's going to take a lot of grass roots scouring of the Pubbies out there that don't vote and get them to the polls in masse! Keep in mind that the RATs will do all they can, legally and otherwise to win votes. The dead are sure to vote again and again in the Blue states.

Bush will pick up Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota

That is probably wishful thinking on our part. Republicans always think they will will WI in close races, and it rarely happens. IA was lost as far back as Dukakis, and MN offers hopes only when the Democrats are badly divided among themselves, which they are not in 2004. I also think it will be nearly impossible for Bush to win PA -- Specter will run six to eight points ahead of Bush in my estimation.
