McCain in Pennsylvania

Another thing baffling me at the moment. What the heck is McCain doing in Pennsylvania?

The state shows Obama with a 13% advantage. The state is a reliable Democratic state. What the heck does he think he can accomplish? They say he's there because Obama did poorly against Hillary Clinton there. Yeah, but, they were still both Democrats.

McCain's campaign has been consistently run by out-of-touch decision making and delusion. Believing Palin would attract Hillary supporters--or any intelligent woman for that matter? Now he has the delusion that in an election where polls show him losing a handful of reliable Republican states, he thinks he can turn a Democratic one in which he faces a 13-point deficit? Really, I start to feel sorry for him, because it's like he just doesn't know, poor old guy.

Faced with the potential of losing red states, McCain should be putting everything he's got, every last resource, all the "stand-up-and-fight" he has left into Virginia, Ohio, Florida. Keeping those states is his only possible chance against Obama. Focusing on Pennsylvania is a foolish waste of resources on a lost cause.

Stay in Pennsylvania, McCain. It's a beautiful state this time of year, especially with the foliage. Perhaps you might even want to move there. The Amish are keeping a place for you.
