Rasmussen: Obama takes lead in Va.

[Popeye]

A newly released (6-16) Rasmussen poll of the state of Virginia shows Obama with a 45%-44% lead over McCain. Sure, I know it's within the MOE, therefore statistically insignificant, but it shows that, unlike 2000 and 2004, Va. is definitely in play. Demonstrating again that Obama has a different electoral path to victory than either Gore or Kerry.

I think Colorado will be a swing state in this election too.
