That Obama has pulled ahead in a state that went 59.07% for Bush and 38.56% for Kerry is a shocker. Throw out all the conventional wisdom and maps based on the political landscape of the 90's. This is going to be a very different election.
...he has a very different appeal than Gore, Kerry, or Sen. Clinton.
This is one of the reasons why I supported him; he can hopefully bring blue to states that haven't seen it in generations.
