And don't forget: when you've never been ahead in the race and are no less than two points behind in almost every state, send your VP home for two days......to a state you have NO hope of winning.
This is some plan they have, huh?
Hhhhmmmm, what if the Monday morning (OCTOBER SURPRISE) New York Times paper drop on Florida has caused backlash? Ya think?
You're right to abandon Florida. It's gone. And you can skip all those Great Lakes states the last week, too, 'cause you got them locked up. No reason to spend any more time or money in Ohio.
Where you need to go, John, is the Carolinas. Yep. Great chance for a couple of upset wins. After all, your running mate was born in SC and raised in NC. Frankly, John, if I were you, I'd spend the entire last week in North and South Carolina.
Trust me on this, John. You'll thank me later.
Your old bud, who wants only the best for you,
SNC
