What's the point?  I mean why not just wait until mid-October while you're at it.  

If Obama has the money, why not do it.  I still think Viginia may be time and money better spent though.  

Obviously, Colorado is the path of least resistance.  Obama wins Colorado, he wins the election.  

Ohio has me very worried still.  Why Obama has not campaigned more meaningfully in Apalachia is beyond me.  

I'm not beginning to think that.  I'm saying we need to do that, like yesterday.  

You don't argue facts during a campaign.  You do what it takes to win.  Once elected, then you can get dogmatic.  Listen, the American people don't listen to ding dong.  We have to just accept it, move on, and fight like heck.  

Ah, a purist I see.

Well Republicans aren't purists.  That's why they seem to win these Presidential things every 4 years.  

We'll see, Florida seems more in play than it did a week ago.  

However, we have to do a better job in the Tampa area and that entire corridor than we did in 2004.  Kerry's performance there was just pitiful.  If Obama can run even there, or win by a 1-2 points, he's got a chance.  

It's the economy stupid.  

Send the Big Dog to SW Virginia and SE Ohio when he's done in Florida!!!

1)  Colorado is not lost.

2)  People need to stop being so scared of Palin.  Think Republicans crawl into a hole everytime something doesn't go there way.  

Seriously, grow a spine and fight back.  

If McCain wants to spend millions in PA please do so.  While he's at it, go buy some ad time in New Jersey.  

Agree with CO and NM.  Forget IA.  McCain has too much ground to make up and has never been popular in the state, going back to 2000.

He needs to spend time Appalachia and SW Viginia.  He limits his losses there, he might be able to put something out of his bu** in VA.  

If Obama only wins New Mexico by a few hundred votes, this election is over.  I'm as negative as they come, but Obama is not going to lose this state.  It's only one poll, taken in the middle of the convention bounce and basically is the only poll that shown McCain with a lead.  

Don't believe it.  The real state to focus on is Colorado.  Obama wins NM, CO, MI, IA, NH, and WI it is game, set, match.  

The Democrats inability to attrack the Scots-Irish vote has a problem for decades and unfortunately it carries on in this election.

Obama or his surrogates needs to spend time in Appalachia and connect with the economic populist themes that will work there.  Look, he's an outsider.  Everybody knows that.  But if he respects the culture and gives real solutions to the economic problems that have been hurting Applachia forever, he can limit his losses.

Obama must limit his lossses in Western Viginia, SE Ohio, Western NC, if he wants to win these states.  

Forget Florida, send the Big Dawg to Blacksburg.  

Palin doesn't shit her pants on stage, sounds angry, and so she is tough.

It's the one benefit female candidates have over male candidates in politics.  

Which is exactly what Obama needs to do.  Remember McCain is the nominee, not Palin.  The more this race is about Palin the better, for now.  However, it will get too a point where attacking Palin may become a drag on Obama.  

Attack Palin by attacking McCain.  She likes and wants the personal attacks against herself.  It's how she operates and what she thrives on.  You can tell already.  Don't let her take advantage.

It's McCain stupid!

Let's hope for a bounce because like Kerry in 2004, this is shaping up to be another August to forget.  

Like Bush did in 2004, Obama is allowing McCain to drive the narrative during the month of August.  

We can't wait until late September or October to drive home what this campaign is about:  "the economy stupid."  

It's also Giants v. Redskins, which is a huge opening night draw.  In fact, the only thing bigger would have been Giants v. Cowboys.
