Lots to tell you:
Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Wisconsin that shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 47% to 42%.
The poll has a margin of error of 3 points and will be released tomorrow.
And:
A new Franklin & Marshall poll in Pennsylvania shows Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain among likely voters in the key battleground state, 46% to 41%.
The poll's margin of error is 3.9 points.
Poll director Terry Madonna on Obama: "He's on third base, but so far he can't seem to find a way to get home. Look at the underlying trends. The economy is a huge issue. Bush's ratings are terrible. But too many voters are concerned about Obama's experience, and don't yet have enough confidence in his ability to lead."
I don't like that last part. But moving on: a Mark Warner tidbit to add to
Paddy's post:
Marc Ambinder reports that the selection of Mark Warner to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention "comes on the heels of a secret, last-minute effort to convince Warner to submit his name and record for vice presidential vetting."
Warner "was subject to fairly intense pressure by Obama advisers to allow the team of Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy to open an account and begin their work."
However, Warner resisted, "citing, as he has done publicly, family concerns and his public pledge to Virginians."
Well then, that settles that.
