First Read: McCain campaign official outlines their losing strategy

[featherman]

"But it’s also clear that Pennsylvania has become the campaign’s do-or-die state. As one McCain official candidly tells the Politico, “We have a real chance in Pennsylvania. We are in trouble in Colorado, Nevada and Virginia. We have lost Iowa and New Mexico. We are OK in Missouri, Ohio and Florida. Our voter intensity is good and we can match their buy dollar for dollar starting today till the election. It’s a long shot but it’s worth fighting for.” The scary thing for the McCain campaign is that they could win Pennsylvania, but if they lose Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia, they lose in the Electoral College, 270-268. That's just stunning. The McCain campaign could win Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania -- and still lose. This is how Obama's money and organizational advantage has made such a difference: They've rewritten the battleground just as they promised."

So let's see: hmmm... win PA, MO, OH, FL... okay... but lose IA, NM, CO, NV, VA and thus lose the election 270-268. Hey, GOOD PLAN!
