Winning the Midwest

A series of new polls out has Obama ahead in:

• Colorado Obama (D) 49%, McCain (R) 44%
• Michigan Obama (D) 48%, McCain (R) 42%
• Minnesota Obama (D) 54%, McCain (R) 37%
• WisconsinObama (D) 52%, McCain (R) 39%

It turns out that nominating a candidate from the midwest does, as you might expect, increase the Democrats appeal in the region.

Now that, my friends, is Change We Can Believe In.
