What's gotta hurt Kerry is that he's still GOT to keep pouring money and advertising into a state that he's not going to win. Now, with even Oregon on the Left Coast coming back into play, he's got to divide his forces even further.
It's going to get worse for his campaign if they have to keep spreading themselves out to stem the tide.
I hear that he's pulled advertising from LA, AZ, MO and a couple of other states, whereas deep-pockets GWB is contesting just about every state in an effort to attract the maximum amount of the popular vote that he can so as to head off a repeat of the popular vote/electoral college issue that we had in '00.
Good points. I saw the polls in New York State today and Kerry is up by only 7 points. Governor Pataki told reporters "Welcome to the new battle ground State." That was a great line.
The reporters then asked him if they thought New York would see the campaigns actually spend money in New York. The Governor said no, because if New York is within grasp of Bush then Bush will be so far ahead in other States that he won't need to spend money in New York. And if Kerry is close to losing in New York then nothing will help his campaign. Yep, I have to agree with you that things are looking good for Dubya right now. GLTY. Go Bush.
