Ohio and Pennsylvania were central not only to the Obama election in 2008, but the Democratic surge to control of Congress in 2006 and 2008.

Kentucky: Not likely to be a coin flip in 2012 Before getting to the raw numbers out of the Bluegrass State, a caveat in the “cool your jets” vein. This PPP poll is not based on an anticipated 2012 electorate, but rather based on a sample of voters likely to turn out in two months for the gubernatorial election.

Republicans are, rightfully, a bit pessimistic about their chances in November.

Shocking ! Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room. Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting. “We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room.
