It’s a statement in one of the threads below, and taken as gospel even by many liberals – all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

Through the above link Chris Bowers notes that all of these states where Obama has a lead, even with double digits, it’s a “battleground state.” Any state in which McCain has even a slight lead is a “leans Republican” state. And this is the “liberal” Washington Post.
In fact, on CNN there’ve been several discussions in which the commentators have noted Obama’s “slight leads” in Pennsylvania. About the last 5 polls have had Obama ahead by double digits. When does it become “lean Democrat?”
In this post Bowers notes that the mainstream media is so cowered by the right in even appearing biased, that they won’t even give Obama more than the requisite 270 electoral college votes in their projections, yet even Republican sites are doing just that!
It’s really pathetic.
On this National Coming Out Day there is conflict and/or relief in families across the country. Here’s a story I want to bring to your attention. If anybody has another send me a link or post one.
