Minnesota Kerry by 6.4% (Kerry 5.2%)
Missouri Kerry by 0.7% (Kerry 3.3%)
Nevada Kerry by 0.6% (Bush 1.8%)
Ohio Bush by 1.3% (Kerry 0.7%)
Tennessee Kerry by 2.2% (even)
W. Virginia Bush by 3.9% (Bush 8.2%)

Volatile as heck, and we don't even see the bounce from the Democratic convention.

My take: if Kerry continues to use his convention speech as his stump speech, expect a huge change for Kerry especially in Nevada and West Virginia, two states with a larger percentage of vets. I think his speech will go over well, hopefully solidifying a lead outside of MoE in those two states. Fingers crossed.

For those who use these Zogby interactive results for their electoral vote counts, I would say don't. If you do, use the states where the results are outside of MoE. Everything else is up for grabs, in my opinion. The numbers are too volatile for my taste.
