Rasmussen Reports is out with some new state polls that bear ominous results for Democrats, and very positive news for John McCain. In both Michigan and Pennsylvania, states that have gone Democratic in recent elections, John McCain is leading the most likely Democrat nominee - Barack Obama - as well as Hillary Clinton. Here are the numbers

Pennsylvania

44% John McCain
43% Barack Obama

46% John McCain
44% Hillary Clinton

Michigan

44% John McCain
41% Barack Obama

46% John McCain
43% Hillary Clinton

These are considered reliable "blue" states for Democrats. The fact that John McCain is running strong in both, is a very ominous sign for Dems. If McCain could pick off either one of those states, he would be very difficult to defeat in November. McCain is clearly intending to compete all across the country. He will run very strong in New Hampshire, and has a shot in Connecticut and New Jersey as well. As the Dems keep beating on each other, John McCain is plodding along, building his organization and looking very presidential. Let's hope that picture is in place for several more months!
