No need to read further.
I don’t call a 48-42 margin a “trouncing.” For McCain to be doing so well in Michigan is probably a good sign. But overall no, the news is not good. Things can change. Too bad we just don’t have a better standard bearer.
I don’t know that Minn. is really a swing state. Maybe the GOP should write it off and concentrate on states they can win, like OH, VA, and of course FL. I wouldn’t write off CO yet but it isn’t looking good there.
