Obama Swinging in Ohio And Pennsylvania

According to the Pew Research Center and the Quinnipiac Poll, Barack Obama has a impressive lead in the swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

According to the early indicators and surveys, Barack Obama has a 7 percent point lead over John McCain Ohio. Obama also has a 10 percent point lead over McCain in Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania lead is surprising, considering the comment Obama some time again abouth them being "bitter". I guess maybe they aren't bitter after all. Pennsylvanians, like most Americans are smarting from the recent downtown in the economy and high unemployment.

With Ohio, his lead isn't so surprising, but in the past it has been voted predominately Republican.

The winds of change are in motion and Obama is flying high.

One interesting point is that not since 1960 has a candidate not been elected president without carrying the biggest swing states. And Ohio and Pennsylvania are two of them.

Stay tuned. There is still plenty of voting time left, especially on the left coast.
