Today’s installment of campaign-related news items that wouldn’t generate a post of their own <\/p>\n
https:\/\/stromectol-europe.com<\/a><\/p>\n , but may be of interest to political observers:<\/p>\n * According to the National Review’s Rich Lowry<\/a>, the McCain campaign “has been calling key state GOP officials around the country the last couple of days and sounding them out about the consequences of a pro-choice VP pick.”<\/p>\n * Will Obama’s drive to stretch the map stretch the campaign too thin<\/a>? “The McCain campaign has outspent the Obama camp by hundreds of thousands of dollars <\/p>\n K\u00f6p Viagra Receptfritt<\/a><\/p>\n , and in some cases by as much as a million dollars or more, in virtually all of the nearly dozen battleground states where both campaigns are up on the air, according to a firm that tracks national advertising…. McCain is advertising heavily in 11 traditional battlegrounds; Obama is advertising in those same 11 plus roughly seven more; and McCain holds a heavy advantage in virtually all the 11 shared states.”<\/p>\n * A new Quinnipiac poll shows Obama leading McCain nationally<\/a> by five <\/p>\n , 47% to 41%.<\/p>\n * Interesting<\/a>: “Recognizing an opportunity, Obama has opened more offices in rural areas than any other Democratic presidential candidate in years, pushing a message focused on job creation. Neighborhood campaign teams have been going door to door talking about Obama and his economic policies. In Ohio <\/p>\n , his campaign recently announced a “Barns for Obama” effort, in which farmers are encouraged to paint their barn with Obama’s logo.”<\/p>\n * As expected, the United Auto Workers<\/a> officially endorsed Obama yesterday. * Rasmussen shows McCain leading Obama in Georgia<\/a> by seven, 50% to 43%.<\/p>\n * Rasmussen shows Obama leading McCain in Illinois<\/a> by 15, 53% to 38%.<\/p>\n * A Siena poll shows Obama leading McCain in New York<\/a> by eight, 47% to 39%. * It’s safe to assume, at this point, that Wesley Clark won’t be Obama’s running mate<\/a>.<\/p>\n * This might matter in Virgina<\/a>, but it’s unclear which candidate will benefit more: “On Friday, under the radar, the Independent Green Party of Virginia successfully gathered enough signatures to put New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s name on the presidential ballot. They did it all without the mayor’s knowledge or consent. Moreover, they wrote in as his number two Texas Rep. Ron Paul.”<\/p>\n * Al Franken (D) is still trailing Sen. Norm Coleman (R) in Minnesota’s Senate race, but a new Rasmussen poll shows the gap narrowing<\/a> a bit.<\/p>\n
