They will probably do some sort of firewall that Kerry tried to do with everything in Ohio and Florida.
If I was the McCain campaign, I would put more resources in Florida than in Ohio, and get the NRA and social conservatives to run a bunch of ads.
Another State they should try hard, especially with social conservatives: Virginia
However, even if Obama doesn't win Florida, they can cause McCain's campaign to sweat bullets in Florida. McCain can't win without Ohio and Florida. Make the McCain campaign go through what the GHW Bush campaign went through with Florida in 1992, when they saw a safe state go into contention. (I know that Florida is a battleground this year)
South of L.A. is Orange County replete with millionaires and older money, who vote for their own interests by voting Republican.
McCain was probably here to suck up rich people's money in Orange and those disaffected Hollywood Republicans.
Choose goofy VP nominee √
Suspend campaigns in Michigan and Pennsylvannia √
Give concession speech
One state at a time, baby!
I want to be positive, I really do, but we've all watched two elections stolen - and I just hope there's enough people who aren't distracted by the economy. Caribou Barbie, OJ Simpson, and god knows what else who will keep watch in these next few weeks.

McCain is wasting his money with his lying ads here.
And I've switched the channel on them for a couple weeks, at least.
One just a couple days ago.
Really, John? Really -- fucking Los Angeles?
Oh wait, no, it's totally, totally cool to blow your money in L.A., there are all sorts of fools here, who are Scientologists and what not, and will swallow any bunk.
Although they tend to be outnumbered by voters who read.
Ah maybe those ads are a sop to the Hollywood Republicans whining about discrimination against their stupidity, so they don't feel so damn lonely.
Look! Media! For you lonely bastards!
:)
Even though it looks like he's going down in flames, he is still in the race and his behavior, age and medical history are as relevant as anything else.
I thought they gave him something for the first debate, speed or something. Maybe Monofidal, something to make him sharp and alert. I thought that at one of Bush's debates too. He had gone from incomprehensible to suddenly showing up for the debate alert and intelligent sounding - sort of.
Cindy probably could have scored something for him, although she likes downers better.
This sounds like McCain has burned through a whole lot of cash already. Bad financial planning in a campaign == bad financial governing as president.
Anyway, I mailed it back empty. I figured they'd appreciate the chance to pay for the postage and for someone to open an empty envelope.
It was RNC funded, not candidate funded, so it didn't come out of their coffers.
In what was solid red Bush country four and 8 years and solid Romney in the primary fund raising, south central and eastern Ohio won't be a sure Republican bet for the flailing Arizona Senator.
McCain spots have run heavily in the Cincinnati media market the last several weeks but, starting this past Sunday, Obama's light rotation has turned very heavy and very focused on jobs and the economy as Mccain's seemingly vanished.
McCain's spots have been so negative in tone to this point I really wonder if an intensification of the same will accomplish anything but harming the old geezer and his hand puppet running mate...Screaming over abortion might be Johnny's only remaining card.
McCain Suspends McCain Campaign to Deal with Emergency Collapse of McCain Campaign.
Wait, what am I saying? You got Palin! And I'm sure she's gonna turn it all around tonight. And hey, I'm sure Alaska's gonna be....some kind of percent behind you some of the rest of the way!
Not if they continue to run ads that contradict their candidate's positions, á la the spot this week criticizing the bailout bill for which John McCain had just taken credit. OOPS.

When the republican give up on a state it means the republicans are fearing a defeat and are looking for an excuse... a pul out is an excuse all through a week one.
Most likely not... Bush and company will spend the parties last dime to keep Texas red, after all what better place to rebuild the fascist movement then in Texas... home of the right wing, christian nut cases!
But what the hell, us more educated Texans can hope for a better blue future... someday soon!
Here in Florida the mailing was "unconfirmed Republican" voting status. Google it. I am reading a book by a former Republican whose job was to do all this stuff. "how to rig an election" by Allen Raymond ISBN 978 1 4165 5222 2
