This article appears to have given up Colorado and New Mexico as lost causes, which is insane. Either one of those states is more winnable than Pennsylvania is. Obama will almost certainly win all the states Kerry took in 2004 plus flip Iowa from red to blue. If he can also win Colorado and New Mexico then the election’s over. McCain needs to keep Colorado, a better shot than New Mexico, in his camp and just retain the rest of the states that Bush took, including Virginia. If he does that then he’s off to the White House.
Yep. All McCain has to do is hold on the the rest of the Bush states from 2004 (sans New Mexico and Iowa).
