Is Montana Up for Grabs? Obama?
Is Montana in Play?
So reads a headline on today’s CBS News website. The site carries an Associated Press story that reflects polling information from Montana indicating a closer race for President than anyone anticipated.
McCain seemed assured of a victory in Montana just two months ago, but now, with ten percent of likely voters still being undecided, McCain leads by only four points, 44 to 40. That difference is within the normal “margin” of error, so, in effect, nobody knows where the voters really stand right now.
Obama set sights on Montana early in the year, even spending the 4th of July holiday in Butte, with his family. Since 1948, the State of Montana has gone for the GOP Presidentail nominee in every year except 1964 and 1992. Obama has 19 campaign offices in Montana; McCain, NONE. He share spaces in six GOP offices around the State. Obama is spending a lot of money in Montana; McCain, NONE.
Additionally, the candidacy of Ron Paul has thrown a monkey wrench into the typically secure GOP areas of the State. See the details of Congressman Paul’s effect on the Montana race in the link below.
Here is a link to the CBS News Article: Is Montana in Play?
Win or lose, the fact that the race is tightening in Montana means that the RNC will have to throw money that way in order to save the state…which is great news for Team Obama and the 50 State Strategy
I’ll never understands ALL candidates don’t have a 50 state strategy.

A survey was done in this country recently which showed that 72% want Obame to win.
