The Young Turks

Basically, a new Quinnipac University poll shows Obama trailing McCain in FL and OH but with a small edge in PA. Hilary, however, polled better then McCain in these critical battleground states. Get your library card and check these numbers out:

FL: Clinton tops McCain 48% - 41%; McCain leads Obama 45% - 41%;

OH: Clinton beats McCain 48% - 41%; McCain tops Obama 44% - 40%;

PA: Clinton tops McCain 50% - 37%; Obama leads McCain 46% - 40%.                                                                       What will it take to turn things in Obama's favor?         The ladies.

 In FL, Clinton leads McCain 54% - 37% among women, while women split in an Obama/McCain match-up, 43% - 42% for the IL senator.

In OH, Clinton leads McCain 53% - 37% among women, while they tip more narrowly to Obama over McCain, 42% - 40%.

In PA, Obama does marginally better with women, likely accounting for his lead over McCain in the statewide numbers. After all, 58% of the state's Dem primary voters were women. Clinton bests McCain 57% - 31% with women. Obama also tops McCain, 49% - 37% with women.                                                                              So, in light of the numbers, Team Obama hired Linda Douglas, a veteran political journalist and contributing editor to the National Journal. She is now a senior strategist and senior campaign spokeswomen. This makes Linda Douglas, Michelle Obama and Susan Rice the most visible females in the Obama camp.
