Not to rain on the parade, but is anyone else not buying Obama +28 here?
Nope. In 2004, it was Kerry +10; in 2000, it was Gore +12, and in 1996, it was Clinton +13. No way it's currently Obama +28.
But they do really like Obama out West. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Obama is polling very well in the Northern part of the state that is more Pacific Northwestern, where we know he is extremely popular from the polls in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.
I'm going to guess that the state goes 57-41 Obama in the end.
But considering it's a base state for the Dems, it's really only good for running up the PV total.
