It WAS close in 2004, Bush loss by just 3%.
That one poll is old, 9/18. Lots can happen in a few days, week...overal it is only showing a 3.0 plus for Obama in Minnesota. McCain definitely has a chance to win!!! AND with all the hockey moms/snow machiners I bet we have a good chance......and we have a far better ticket!!

Yes, Bush lost MN by 100,000 votes with only 2.8 million votes cast and all the Bush 2004 numbers were records. You’re really going to play in MN rather than OH or PA?
