McCain is catching up and Obama’s donations are drying up.

Panic has set in with the Dems.

They are eyeing some of the EVs, especially from big city areas. Like Maine, Nebraska splits their EV.

Nebraska divides its EC votes rather than awarding them winner-take-all. My understanding is that Team Bambi hopes to get one EC vote there.

Obama backs off 50-state 57-state strategy

Fixed it for them. We need to keep doing the media's job for them.

It’s not about winning anymore. It’s about saving face. Otherwise, Obama WILL be Carter 2.0...in November 1980.

OBAMA -the hysterical one- hath spoken

I think enough Americans are catching on that he’s a shoddy foreign import. No slave blood. A faker who has been doing a good imitation of competency when he’s really just a stage actor and a Columbia/Harvard affirmative action dunce

No crap! Obama is down to about a five state strategy, as is McCain. For Obama, it’s CO, VA, NH, MI, PA, and maybe OH, although I think he’s figuring out that OH is going to be tough. He doesn’t need us. He does need either CO or VA.

Shouldn't the headline read:

Obama backs off 60-state strategy

Indiana and Florida would be tough for Obama to pick up.

New Mexico and Colorado is his best bets. And if he wins Colorado, McCain better pick up Michigan or PA.

If I were barry, I’d pour a whole lot of money into ACORN in order to get the illegal, dead and contrived vote. This number is significant already.

Don’t listen to ratmedia push polls and ratmedia wishful thinking. Watch where they set up shops and close down shops.

“Obama backs off 50-state strategy”

is he changing it to a 57 - state strategy?

Columbia/Harvard affirmative action dunce

This seems to have been on the back burner, but may come home to roost. While Hussein hasn't released any transcripts, the fact that he wasn't included on any honor rolls at Colombia provides a clear indication that he was both unqualified and undeserving (ie the ultimate effect of affirmative action) to be admitted to HL.

That fact that he is NOT descended from slaves, yet is still widely embraced by AAs, is an interesting point. Imagine at some future date, an Hispanic POTUS candidate from Mexico City's ruling European elite, who appeals to descendants of illegals.

Obama is playing a 270 game. I want McCain to play the 300 game. Go for the gut and knock this phony out once and for all.

They have to show a path to victory otherwise their donors will get depressed and whatnot.

from big city areas.

Big city areas? In Nebraska? I guess you mean Omaha?
