Panic Stations: Kerry Losing Lead in Ultra-Democratic Illinois; Tied in Democratic Stalwart Minnesota
Kerry's lead in reliably Democratic Illinois has gone from 13 to 4. From a solid lead, which would be expected, to a toss up.
A CNN/Gallup Poll now shows that it is now all knotted up at 45% in Al Franken's home state, Minnesota. Minnesota has been trending Republican lately, but it has always been a very reliable Democratic state.
John Kerry cannot win without Minnesota.
It's getting kind of sick. The battlegrounds are becoming Bush's base, and Kerry's base is becoming battlegrounds.
