McCain Concedes Colorado, Iowa, and New Mexico

(from EV.com http://www.electoral-vote.com/ )

CNN is reporting that McCain is making those tough decisions that politicians love to talk about. According to CNN, McCain is abandoning Colorado (9 EVs), Iowa (7 EVs) and New Mexico (5 Evs). If Obama wins these three he gets 21 EVs. Add these to the 252 EVs Kerry won and he has 273 and becomes President. McCain's strategy at this point is to win Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, and--get this--Pennsylvania. The first six are arguably swing states, but our three-poll average puts Obama 12 points ahead in Pennsylvania. McCain is effectively betting the farm on a state which looks like an Obama landslide. It is a strange choice. Colorado looks a lot easier than Pennsylvania. James Carville once famously said that Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama sandwiched in between. Maybe McCain is going to go all out to win the white working class men in the Alabama section of Pennsylvania. McCain can't possibly do it on the economy. What's left? Maybe run against the Wright/Ayers ticket? Any way you look at it, this has to be a desperation move.

Florida and North Carolina, that is. :woohoo:

when hubby asked me to marry him, he promised i would be able to get to both colorado and new mexico quarterly. is in our contract, wink.

and Greg Palast was on last night saying that New Mexico and Colorado have been stolen for McCain and that Obama is going to come up 6 elctoral votes short. ;(

I am tired of all the "oh woe is me, the election has already been stolen" threads. What will the alarmists say if Obama wins on Nov. 4?

he doesn't win...then it was clearly and absolutely stolen..no matter how it was done...it will still have been stolen, and this time, I don't think "we the people", are going to stand for it...100,000 people do NOT show up to see a man they don't intend to vote for, which is a phenomena that has been happening all over the states, not just in Missouri...but no matter what...we should NOT discount anything that's being said, just because we don't want to hear it...pay attention and act accordingly...wb

If McCain "wins", it will be PROOF that republicans are in control of the voting machines and can program anyone to win that they want.

...Ohio voted for McCain than than nationally like what happened in 04.

There's NO DAMN WAY

He can't win without Colorado.

I don't trust him, especially the people around him

It's just interesting seeing what they want public perception to be - this one makes no sense to me.
