The Big Ten polling consortium has some shock-and-awe numbers this morning favoring Obama in the midwest, particularly in states like Ohio (+12), Michigan (+22), Minnesota (+19), Wisconsin (+13) and Indiana (+10). (And no, the Indiana number is not a typo!) If these numbers are real and not outliers, they foreshadow a landslide for Obama. As usual, Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com gives the best explanation of how we should view them.
