A good description of how the race is boiling down.

[Gamecock]

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

Panic has set in with the Dems.

[lmc12]

Nebraska??? The Obama Campaign is building castles in the sky.

Obama backs off 50-state 57-state strategy

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

[mikey_hates_everything]

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

[LS]

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.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Shouldn't the headline read:

Obama backs off 60-state strategy

[jerry557]

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.

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

[blueyon]

“Obama backs off 50-state strategy”

is he changing it to a 57 - state strategy?

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Meanwhile, Scott Rasmussen’s poll has us only down 2 points in Washington state.

We are gaining momentum.

Did Senator Obama really mean to call Governor Palin a pig? I don’t know, but the wildly cheering audience reaction was clear on what they interpreted. Of course, his repeated explanations, like on the Letterman show, just dig the hole deeper. The “lip stick” story keeps going on and on. For Sarah’s benefit, many Alaskans welcomed her home on Wednesday night with Palin Is Great (PIG) signs.

Did South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler really say that Sarah Palin’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion”? Yes she did.
Did her husband, former Democratic leader Don Fowler make stupid remarks about God because the hurricane interfered with the Republican convention? Yes he did.

Thank you democratic leadership. Letting us know how you feel about women who have worked their way up to positions of high responsibility. Governor Sarah Palin is an outstanding example of executive leadership. Unknown to many, as leader of the Alaska national guard, she commands the very missile units who face the “Bear” and other enemies across the straights. She is the “tip of the spear”.

Thank you John McCain, for picking an excellent Vice-President to-be. The Republican headquarters here in Cherokee County, Georgia is flooded with volunteers.

RE: the 50 state or 57 state strategies...

Actually, 0bomba would do better with a 107 state strategy.

The 57 Organisation of the Islamic Conference states, with 0 EV's, which 0Bomba is not going to give up no way no how, AND a good portion, or 270 EV's, of the remaining 50 USA states.

[Lou L]

All the joking about 50 or 57 states aside, why would any candidate have a 50-state strategy? This is the kind of hogwash that gets passed by the media, and they never bother to question it. Why not a 270 EV strategy? Claiming to go after all 50 states is just pandering, and no one called him on it.

[Arrowhead1952]

I heard that BO pulled his entire campaign staff out of Texas this week.

[PhillyRepublican]

I thought Barry had a fifty-SEVEN State strategy!,,,,LOL
