After she endorsed, Spencer Pratt reportedly said, "Nobody cares who Heidi Montag is going to vote for." But could she actually swing the youth vote away from Obama? After all, the Obama-McCain election is going to come down to a handful of votes.
Okay, we're kidding. She ain't gonna do shit. And besides, we have more important things to discuss...
Obama has narrowed Clinton's 26 point lead in Pennsylvania to a mere five points in just three weeks. Some polls have shown Obama with a stastical lead, which we find very difficult to believe since we expect Clinton to win PA no matter what. (And yet other polls shows him still about 10-12 points behind, which is at least progress for the Illinois Senator.) Meanwhile, Slate has set up a Deathwatch on the Clinton campaign, which gives her a statistical 9-percent chance of winning. Ouch.
However, the news isn't all apocalypse for Hill. According to Political Wire, the Senator Who Moved to New York fares better against Grandpa Moses in three major swing states:
- Florida: Clinton 44, McCain 42; McCain 46, Obama 37
- Ohio: Clinton 48, McCain 39; Obama 43, McCain 42
- Pennsylvania: Clinton 48, McCain 40; Obama 43, McCain 39
In other news, retiring Republican Senator Chuck Hagel is dangling an endorsement over Obama's head, for which Obama will probably consider him for the Vice Presidency. While we think this would be a great way for the Democrats to neutralize McCain, the chances of Hagel running against a friend from his own party are extremely slim.
