McCain should just hammer every part of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Over and over. He can beat Obama in those states.

Protect CO and VA and you are in.

I just hope they don’t start getting distracted by NY, CA, NJ, WA, OR and the like.

Its two words: Reagan Democrats. Blue collar, socially conservative demographic. There's no other reason to be going there.

All I can figure is: Sarah pulls in the Right votes, and McCain himself is RINO enough to be battling for the moderate and left wing votes, hoping to leave Obamarama with the far left votes.

Who is out of touch? Obama just had a dinner of $28,000 a plate. The Soros crowd.

McCain and Palin should have a chicken,potato salad,bean dinner for $2.00......something we all love!!!!

Real people love....McCain/Palin

Plastic Surgeons love the Obama Crowd...have you seen Biden...scarey...he is beginning to look like Joan Rivers

Exactly. In 2000, Bush spent too much time in CA under the delusion that he could carry that state. He neglected FL. What a mess that was.

While I understand your strategy, I also believe that if the campaign were to make a one day stop through NY, it could gain enough points to make the polling a statistical tie.

That becomes a REAL threat, esp if a major news outlet (Fox) starts reporting that McCain and Obama are now TIED in NewYork and that it is now a swing state. This will force the Dem's to respond and take them off their game plan.

As long as it is done once and used to upset the tempo of the Obama camp, it becomes asymmetrical leverage. Besides, NY is close to Pennsylvania so it could be done without too much disruption.

I think it’s a good idea to play on your opponent’s side of the field, if you can.
