Obama opens a BIG lead in the Commonwealth

SurveyUSA has Obama up 10, Suffolk University up 12 and both have him over the 50% threshold. If one poll had come back with a result like this, I would call it an outlier, but two on the same day? This is likely the real McCoy.

That would also explain why the Virginia GOP is officially freaking out right now. If Obama can take Virginia by that kind of margin or even close to it, then not only does that pretty much seal McCain’s fate, the down ticket losses for the state Republicans will be substantial (See Drake, Thelma). Seriously, this has potentially huge implications both here and nationally.
