Democrat concern about the Presidential election should now be morphing into outright panic. Just a day after moving the Blue State of Michigan from "likely democrat" to "leans democrat", Rasmussen Reports has moved it into the "toss-up" category. The revision was due to a huge drop in the expectation of Michigan staying blue among participants in the Rasmussen Markets. RR polling continues to show McCain with narrow leads over both Obama and Clinton. Michigan joins another huge battleground state- Ohio as "toss-ups". They may well be joined soon by a third biggie- Pennsylvania.Democrats most likely will need a sweep of the three to take the White House. They are defending in PA (21 Electoral Votes) and Mich. (17) while they narrowly lost Ohio (20). It is difficult to imagine Dems winning the WH without all 3, nearly impossible without 2 of the 3.
