Obama Gaining Ground on McCain in Kentucky

Conventional wisdom has John McCain winning Kentucky so easily that Barack Obama shouldn't even bother to campaign here. Obama might want to think twice about that strategy after seeing the results of a new Survey USA/WHAS 11 news poll. The poll shows Obama trailing McCain by 12% but that's a 9 point improvement for Obama over last month.

The poll shows McCain leading 53%-41% and winning every region of the state by at least 18 points. The exception is the Louisville area where Obama is leading by 12 points.
Obama leads McCain with voters under 35 years old, but that's it. The older folks all go for the older presidential candidate. Those Kentuckians who identify themselves as Independents favor McCain by a 47%-42% margin. Here are the poll results.

Obama leads McCain in key states of Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania! Latest national polling.....

Hilary carried these states and now Obama. And, believe me, it was not due to the help of Senator Clinton. She is still sending out mail, trying to raise as much as possible to pay off a 30M dollar campaign debt. Don't cry Argentina . . . The Clinton's have a net worth of $130 Million.

The margin for Obama will only get larger unless a heavy duty, convincing 527 issue impacts him.

Hope Obama did not have to dirty a closet . . . That is the kind of stuff the media loves.
Is there a "BOMBSHELL for Obama

Certainly it is not in the issues raised so far.
The Rev Wright exposure has wained . . . and so has THE REVEREND.
