Politico: McCain's task: Break Obama's discipline
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081015/pl_politico/14603_1

<<Fundamentally, McCain needs to change the frame of the race in 90 minutes,” Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio said, adding wryly that the only way for McCain to accomplish this may be “to go back in time.”>>

Personally, I think McSame is out of material, and I think he knows winning is unlikely. My guess -- and this is only a guess -- is that he will throw some red meat to the base tonight, and then he and Failin' will spend much of the next 3 weeks in a) North Carolina b) Minnesota, c) Ohio, d) Virginia, e) Missouri, and f) Florida (I wouldn't be shocked at a whirlwind through Georgia). They will see what they can do to shake Obama's lead in these states, and also try to follow up support for Senate candidates Dole and Coleman.

I'm guessing that PA will be the next state that they will quietly leave.

1. All Obama has to do is stay cool.
Cool Hand Luke wins the night. And the election.

2. My pro-McSame neighbor (who is actually a nice guy) admires that Obama stays cool under pressure
I'm guessing there are other Republicans who agree
