Glad to see this poll showing GWB up in OH - What were the weightings? (internals??) -

Also, FL,NV and VA all seem to be in play for Kerry (as well as OH,NH and WV).

Left off MO (which also seems to be in play for Kerry) -

Considering the polling results (especially if we are going to say IA,MN and WI are all in play for us).

Virginia isn't in play. I liken the recent polls there to the New Jersey polls, which had been showing a tight race up until recently. Those polls were aberrations, as are the ones in VA.

Dales has moved VA to a slight GWB - VA GOV went DEM in 2002 -
