Reply #17: Harris seems to finally rejoin the battle with this poll

It is showing 9% lead by Obama but a large undecideds 18%


Doing my canvassing I still get a lot of undecideds - including Democrats that are just not comfortable with Obama yet. But none of them are expressing any interest in McCain, so as these undecideds get more comfortable with Obama I expect them to break big for Obama.


Also interesting is the fact that June was Obama's lowest expenditure month this year and he increased his cash on hand to $72 million. These frugal folks are storing their ammunition for when they need it.

McCain' cash on hand is around $ 25 million but he is spending more than he is taking in and after the convention in August he will have only $ 85 million to spend. While the RNC is raising huge amounts of money its not clear how much they will spend on the Presidential campaign when they have so many Senatorial and Congressional seats in trouble.

Virginia remains the most important battleground state that is currently pink and continues to reinforce my belief that it will be Kaine for VP.
