I don't read Daily Kos nearly as frequaently as I used to. There are various reasons for that. The good thing about Daily Kos is that, when it comes to good statistical observations, there is a lot of usable information to be found.
Today Kos himself had a very good point about the media narrative of Oregon vs. The narrative of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The main point is that Oregon is mostly white and has a lower per capita income than Ohio. But Obama is dominating there. So, if he loses Ohio he has a problem with working class white. If he wins Oregon he.....?
For some reason the media latches onto Ohio and Pennsylvania as the gritty heart of real America the same way they latch onto Brett Favre as a great quarterback. Brett Favre is a great quarteback, but not the only great quarterback. Apply that to the above mentioned states.
