Everyone, please take note. McCain/Palin are supposedly trailing badly, if you believe the media and a bunch of handwringing drama queens here on FR. So where are they campaigning this next week?
PA (8 Oct)
WI
WI
OH
WI
PA
IA
VA
VA
Blue font means the Dems won that state in 2004; red means the GOP won it. IA really should probably be a neutral color, since Bush won the White House without it and then with it (2004).
Any objective observer still thinking McCain's worried about getting blown out electorally? Worried about shoring up his base? :-D
Yes, VA in past years wouldn't be on this list (by the way, where's NC?) But if I had to guess, this will be their last visit to VA. If they do more later on, then it will likely mean VA really is at a dead heat or close to it.
By the way, where's supposedly vulnerable Nevada and Colorado? They weren't on yesterday's article about the campaign and RNC advertising expenditures, and they're not on this round of visits. I'm not saying they're no longer up for grabs, but they certainly don't seem to be a major focus right now.
Great post sir. I’m pingin Morgan in Denver to give us her informed take on Colorado. She has excellent insight due to her close association with an elected and high ranking Democrat there.
Again, this is not a campaign sweating about shoring up its base. It's a campaign going after a supposedly invincible, well-financed opponent who, in reality, has some serious difficulty electorally.
Internal polling must have CO as changing. There is not a poll I know of that’s accurate for CO right now.
