people camped out over night to get into the La Crosse rally....I just talked to someone at the rally....there is a great turnout...I'm watching the pre-event on local tv, and the commentator said people are pumped up......way to go McCain...
McCain just came on stagew with Cindi.
From Sept. 30 to Oct. 6, Obama spent more than $20 million on television ads in 17 states including more than $3 million in Pennsylvania and more than $2 million each in Florida, Michigan and Ohio. McCain in that same time frame spent just $7.2 million in 15 states. Even when the Republican National Committee's independent expenditure spending in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin is factored in (a total of $5.3 million), Obama still outspent the combined GOP forces by roughly $8 million in the last week alone.
So some can keep playing defense only. That's a strategy for losers in my book, especially when facing an opponent with so much money. Meanwhile the GOP is making plays at blue states PA, MI and WI (very, very close here the past two elections), plus the purplish IA (red last election, blue the one before).
You can think whatever you like. This is not a campaign trailing by ten points in PA, nor is it a campaign trailing badly nationwide. It's a campaign playing chess against an extremely well-financed Marxist with an adoring media.
