McCain turns to New Mexico
Going to the wild west where true Jacksonian democracy was created, John McCain spent his Saturday campaigning in New Mexico. With the amount of swing states seeming to diminish as the polls show Obama with an ever-growing lead,McCain is aware of the urgent task at hand. To make up for the possibility of losing swing states such as Virginia,the McCain campaign has focused of late on New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada. Speaking to a small group (under 1,000 people), McCain has stepped up the attacks on Senator Obama, "Senator Obama is measuring the drapes and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending and concede defeat in Iraq" (San Diego Union Tribune). McCain will be off to Iowa in vain search of a victory in the corn state (people there are not too pleased with McCain's stance on subsidies for corn ethanol).

There a lot of political consultants scratching their heads as to why McCain is spending his time in places like NM and IA. Throwing all his eggs in the basket on PA makes a whole lot more sense as regards the electoral college.
Looks like Mr. Shulman was right. McCain ended up in PA, where he also fought an uphill battle. It seems his strategy has become to follow Palin along the path of attacking Obama. Whereas that was primarily Palins job up to now, McCain is now joining in. Naturally, I think this a desperate move, as most have McCain's moves have been recently.Of course it could just be that Palin's attacks get publicized and McCain's don't.
If McCain is following Palin now, imagine what the two will be like in the White House. It seems oh so familiar. W.
Mr. Shulman, what's up with Einstein? Have to say the Bush pic was much more entertaining!
