John McCain

Troubling numbers out west highlight the importance of Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. That is the winning formula for John McCain. The "Big Ten" is where McCain needs to go to work. Take trips out west that is fine, and smart, but as I noted earlier today he is advertising in Michigan this is smart. Obviously based on the maps of 2000 and 2004 McCain is on the defensive and Obama has to play offense. McCain can even lose a state or two that Bush won. If he maintains Florida, Ohio, and picks up Michigan I assure McCain is President. Plus a focus on those three states may open the door for Pennsylvania or maybe even New Jersey.
