McCain is headed to Colorado Friday, but public records provided by three Denver stations show the GOP this week cut their ad spending for McCain by 46%.

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

Perhaps an overkill or oversaturation, that we really have the state in the bag?

The GOP cut the ad spending. Not the McCain campaign. And they reduced it, they didn’t end it.

This may simply be paring outlays back to the levels they intended all along.

Look behind the curtain.

I'm having a hard time believing that we are pulling out of Colorado. The state is GOP by nature. I'm not disputing the dollars spent data, I'm simply saying there is something else going on here.

I don't believe we're conceding Colorado.

Makes no sense. Palin has been camped out in CO and drawing huge crowds.

If McCain wins Pennsylvania, he doesn’t need Colorado or New Mexico.

The Republicans are out of money.

Obama has them outfunded by at least 10:1.

If you REALLY wan the Republicans to continue advertising in these venues, call the State Republican Party of these states and CONTRIBUTE.

$10, $10, whatever you can.

It adds up.

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.

Limited resources. You can’t be everywhere at once.

Mac will not lose CO or NV, and the $600,000 withdrawn in CO was targetted to help one Congresswoman, it had nothing to do with McCain.
