Hi impeachedrapist. How can you be sure this is the case—that Obama is not pulling out because he feels strong in these states? It looks like McCain is pulling out of CO and FL too. Does that mean he is down in these places? Without CO and FL McCain can't win, right? I'm not trying to be a contrarian at all, I just don't see what you see and I am trying to learn. I would LOVE it if McCain swept the board like you're saying!

I'm not saying McCain will sweep all those states. What I'm saying is why would a well-financed Obamessiah supposedly leading everywhere, who supposedly has McCain/Palin on the ropes, be scaling back across the board in supposedly vulnerable red states while increasing spending in blue states?? The only legitimate explanation is that he's getting his butt kicked. When you compare that data to how the campaigns are behaving, you have further evidence. McCain/Palin are going to red states, yes. But they're also going to NH, PA, ME, PA, IA (purple state), NM (purple state), did I mention PA? :-)

McCain is NOT pulling out of CO. His VP mate did three events there this week. He's doing two there tomorrow. A hundred or more volunteers/staff are descending on CO from other states (I think more to deliver the Senate seat, which is an even bigger battle than the POTUS race).

McCain is NOT pulling out of Florida. Where did that even come from? McCain's doing a rally in FL today.

Thanks! Excellent answer. I understand now (I know, I’m sloooow) and that does seem like a very positive scenario. Thank God!!

I meant McCain was pulling ad sales in CO and FL according to the graph at that link.

Thanks again! I appreciate your explanation!
