For more on these excellent Quinnipiac/CBS News/New York Times poll results, click here. Assuming these polls are accurate, and assuming that Obama wins all three of these states, then sorry Virginia political junkies, but the presidential election won't be decided here. Still, it would be sweet to see Virginia go "blue" for President, U.S. Senate, and as many Congressional seats as possible (heck, I'd take even one pickup this cycle, any more would be icing...). Plus, there's tons of time until election day, and all kinds of things can happen, so let's just keep working hard, keep the pedal to the metal, and focus on kicking the pathological liar Willard's butt back to Bermuda, or wherever his tax-dodging riches are stashed these days...
P.S. Perhaps the Obama campaign's efforts at defining Romney are working, and perhaps #romneyshambles disastrous trip abroad, in which he pissed off just about everyone and made one ill-advised comment after another, didn't help matters for Willard? Let's hope so, on both counts.
