It should be pointed out that McCain is ahead in the race for having won typically democrat States like New York, Delaware, California, Illinois, Connecticut and New Jersey. The delegates he picked up in those blue States, plus the 18 delegates he got in Massachusetts, represent about 57% of McCain’s delegate count to date. I do not think McCain would win any of those States in November.
I am afraid he will pick someone like Lieberman for his running mate to try and reach out to those areas.
