I would say they are being pretty clear...
Unless you think Mr. Combs is being non-partisan, here...

Massachusetts: Obama leads McCain 54 percent to 38 percent with 2 percent choosing "other" and 5 percent undecided in a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted August 5.
Last month, Obama led by 20 points in this poll.
Sixty-two percent of voters see Obama favorably compared to 57 percent for McCain.
Unlike most other states, voters believe protecting the environment has a higher priority than bringing down the cost of gasoline by 48 percent to 41 percent. They also believe that Afghanistan, not Iraq, is the central front of the war on terror and biggest threat to national security.
A 7NEWS/Suffolk University poll conducted July 31-Aug.2 had Obama leading McCain by 47 percent to 38 percent with 13 percent undecided. The margin of error is 4.9 percent.
Suffolk's David Paleologos said "Obama's campaign has hit a soft patch this summer. With November just three months off, it still appears an Obama outcome in Massachusetts is not in question, but the margin certainly is."
Obama has roughly a 2-to-1 lead among women. Massachusetts has gone Democratic in the five last elections and the only time the margin was less than double-digits was the 1988 George Bush-Michael Dukakis contest.
My state is PATHETIC! I talk to people in the office everyday and we are complaining about the cost of gas and are freaking out about heating our homes this winter. If we need to drill to get down the prices than do it already!
I am guessing the support is coming from some of the rural towns we have here in Massachusetts. I knew there were other McCain voters out there besides me. I hope they poll me too at some point. I am a female independent and would love to give them my opinion on the Chosen One.
That’s correct — 20 to 16. My bad. Down to 12 or less in a few weeks, I hope.
...and if he ends up with a single digit advantage in the bluest of the blue states just before election day, O-bama is O-dead-o nationally.
Sorry, buy I’m not impressed. The moronic liberals outnumber the sane ones by at least ten to one. They would elect Joseph Stalin over Winston Churchill. The Kennedy fiefdom will never vote for a Republican for president.
What is interesting is that if he only carries MA by 16 points - which is where these numbers are trending - what hope does Obama have in PA, MI, OH?
If Gore won MA by 30 points and Kerry won MA by 26 points, Obama winning MA by 16 points is a complete disaster.
He lost the primary to Hillary, despite the endorsements of Kennedy, Kerry and Princess Caroline.
I knew there was a reason I don’t like living in this leftwing wacko state. McCain should be way ahead by now. But Massachusetts is going to have a REPUBLICAN revolution. (i hope)

>>a REPUBLICAN revolution.
You mean our 4 Republican governors weren’t?
Oh-Oh No-Bama-O
Maybe Daddy Yankee can fill that gap in the urban market.
Unlikely to change the electoral vote but it will cut into the national popular vote total and therefore O-ver’s court challenge.
And fly around on that relatively fuel-inefficient 757-200? Boy, that will go over well with the environmentalists.... 
Ooops, it was DC.
We still can trick Obama’s minions that Mass is in play and they should spend their money and time there instead of Ohio and Virginia.
You’re kidding, right?
I’m reading of an enormously large sixteen point gap. There’s good news to be had lately, but this ain’t it.
