     Minnesota is a tossup yet Pennsylvania is lean? Toss that one.

     Minnesota is a tossup yet Pennsylvania is lean? Toss that one.

Hey, CNN is getting a lot better lately.  They used to have New Mexico as "lean McCain" despite not a single poll at that time (out of like a dozen) showing McCain with ANY lead.  The news media in general seems insistent that Minnesota is a tossup - they seem reluctant to judge the state before the home-state convention and possible home-state VP.  I also think putting Minnesota as a tossup means that they seem less biased with their EV totals.

     Minnesota just is not within reach of McCain. Pawlenty would raise McCain's chances of winning the state from 0% to 0.1%.

(The reason for Alaska going Independent is that the Alaskan Independence Party may say "Look, so we may have a VP nominee, but will that really get Alaska noticed? Vote AIP and Alaska will really get noticed!")

LOL

The AIP isn't even running a Presidential candidate.

     I figured it was meant to be sarcastic.
