McCain has to run the table with CO, VA, OH, and FL. We can't win without those. The others (PA, WI, MN) will probably be heartbreakers in the end (close, but no cigar). The financial crises has hit McCain hard. I don't know if there is time for him to recover, even if it settles down in the next couple of weeks (which is probably unlikely).

Sure we can.

Agreed - But that is what makes this so frustrating to watch - The facts are on our side on this. This situation is directly tied to the DEM leadership (right into Obama).

Why wasn't the RNC and McCain on the air immediately setting the premise on these issues. Suspending his campaign was childish. It was playing checkers on a chess board.

The RNC should have hung the current energy prices and the current DOW around the necks of the DEMs. It was made to order for us......to lay out and aggressive, systematic ad campaign taking them to task. Yet, we didn't, and now we have allowed a false-premise to take root (just like the Iraq/WMD false premise was allowed to take root with NO response).

I just found out that Gov. Palin will be in NH on Monday. Another blue state (and the one I feel is the most likely to flip this year).

NH thread

They have different polling numbers than the public ones, and they know all about available resources. This is not a campaign that feels it's losing.
