I really think McCain will pick up a lot of these votes, rather than Obama. He may not be my first, second, or even third choice, but I’ll take him over any dem that was ever in the race.

“McCain courts blue-collar Democrats”

Well someone has to vote for him.

[Winged Hussar]

McCain should appeal to "bitter" small town Pennsylvanians who "cling to guns and religion."

“If McCain were to get 20 percent nationally of blue-collar Democrats, he wins.”

Assuming that anyone in his former base will vote for him.
While I'm sure that he is going to pick up some votes here and there, they are not going to win him Pa or NJ.

Now talk Ohio and maybe Missouri, and thats a good strategy.

Pa will vote Obama. - Take it to the bank.
Things could change and its early days yet, but thats my take on it now.

He would do a lot better if he weren’t screwing the same with affirmative action, his open borders crusade, and globalism.

Fine McCain going after the other parties voters is your job, but go after the Republican/conservative base primarily.

If he could get the conservative base solidly behind him, and then pick up some of the Reagan democrats he can win.

The problem is so much of what he has done and said over the years has made much of the conservative base distrust (or loath) him.

He has created his problems on his own. But finding the votes in the democrats will be unlikely as he is not R.R.

[Clemenza]

The white peasantry in the upper midwest and PA will vote for Hillary, but will NOT vote for Obama. You can take that to the bank.
