According to Rove, the McCain strategy is to take Pennsylvania — which would make up for combined losses in New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado.

We’re not going to lose in Nevada or Colorado.

Liberalism is like an infection. Liberals are leaving the Northeast and the Rustbelt and heading to nice places like Colorado and North Carolina. Once they destroy the State economies with Socialism and high taxes they move on to other low taxes/high employment areas to infect again. We’re seeing a change because of this. Rust belt is now in play because the libs have moved on to right to work states that have jobs and low taxes.

But what if he can’t get PA....it seems like he would want to try for CO, just in case.

BS, McCain is even in the polls in NM, CO and NV.

BTW, Obama cut ad funding in 16 out of 20 states last week, the week of October 19th.

So I guess using the logic of a drive-By, Obama is "pulling out" of this race.

Like a poker game, there are different ways to complete a winning hand. Any winning hand for McCain pretty much has to include Ohio, Missouri, Florida and Virginia. With those battleground states plus the 'red' states, McCain could put together a winning combination with Colorado and either Nevada or New Mexico. With Pennsylvania, which wasn't part of either Bush's 2000 or 2004 wins, McCain could afford to lose all of the western battleground states.

The problem is that as they pull out of states, the reduce the number of backup options so there is no margin for error in even one state. I'm fairly confident things are trending the right way in Missouri, Ohio and Florida. I think both Virginia and Pennsylvania are going to be tough fights.
