After consistently leading McCain in Minnesota state polls, often in the double digits, the latest poll from the Star Tribune found Obama to be tied with McCain at 45 percent in the state.
Taken a week after the RNC was held in St. Paul, some speculate that McCain is just riding a post-convention bump, but it's sure that the McCain camp won't treat it that way. Though Minnesota is seen as a battleground state, Obama hasn't really needed to worry about it considering that no poll has ever shown McCain closer than four points behind Obama in the past year. Now, though, both sides are sure to0 be energized and Minnesotans can expect to have the spot light for the next couple of months. With 11 electoral votes Minnesota is nothing to scoff at, and if McCain could turn this state red after three decades of voting blue it would surely mean substantial things for the Republican party and its base.
