The Occasional Observer

In a follow up to the story on yesterday's Quinnipiac poll (which showed Obama up in PA, OH, and FL), the poll also asked about what the impact would be if a native son was added to the ticket as McCain's Veep.

To my unsurprise, it doesn't help much.

Crist hurts McCain in FL (-5%).
Portman hurts McCain in OH (-5%).
Ridge is a push in PA (+/- 0%).

You don't pick veeps to "win a state," as per my earlier post on the topic.
