I'm getting on a plane to Singapore tonight, and my first days in town may be a little hectic, so somebody else will have to handle the nonstop Edwards-promotion duties for me. But before I leave, I want to show you the latest bit of awesome from SurveyUSA's VP polling.
By now, SurveyUSA has conducted two big Ohio polls with VP candidates. They've tested 7 Republican VP prospects and 8 Democrats (including Ohio governor Ted Strickland.) The only VP who added to Obama's totals was John Edwards, who added between 3 and 9 points depending on who was attached to McCain. Even Strickland, who won the governorship 60-39 in 2006, didn't do that for Obama.
I wouldn't make too much of the fact that Edwards massively outperforms people whom nobody in the state has heard of -- that's to be expected. But in Ohio, as in Pennsylvania, John Edwards does more for Barack Obama than the well-known and popular home-state governor can.
