Five Points?
Shot in the dark blog
Last week, it was the news that Illinois and New Jersey - very blue states - were in serious play (the President may be ahead in Jersey, and tied in Illinois despite Chicago's dominance of the state's voting climate).
Before that, rumors that California was uncomfortably close, and Ahnold hadn't begun to campaign.
Now, according to the latest Rasmussen poll, Kerry is up by five points.
In New York - the bluest of the blue states.
As I write this, the Rasmussen site is being inundated with traffic, so I can't find the numbers for Massachusetts. But if Illinois, New Jersey, and now New York are even remotely close, and assuming Rasmussen is accurate (always a dicey assumption with any poll)... [edit: Massachusetts Kerry up only 12]
As Drudge says, "developing hot".
