Then:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) now must win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Minnesota in order to get enough electoral votes to win the presidency, his campaign says.
Now:
Wisconsin: Obama 51 – McCain 43
And:
The Republican National Committee hasn’t booked ads for the next week in Wisconsin TV markets after running a series of spots attacking Barack Obama and congressional Dems, according to TV sources.
The decision comes amid speculation on whether Republicans may pull back in Wisconsin after several polls in the past week showed Obama up over John McCain by double digits. An RNC spokesman referred calls to the party’s independent expenditure operation, which is in charge of the TV ad buys.
This doesn’t mean that McCain is leaving the state, but his party wouldn’t be exiting if it thought he had any kind of shot at winning there. And as his campaign said, all McCain has to do is win in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Minnesota.
