The Republicans are in trouble, and if McCain doesn't stop the bleeding tonight it could get worse.

Rasmussen today has Obama up by 5 in Virginia. Even North Carolina is almost even. If we are talking about North Carolina in play on election day, McCain is in big trouble, and it may have downballot problems too...

Hey Chuck - When are you guys going to start talking about how some conservatives – are suggesting that Sarah Palin resign as John McCain's running mate?

Due to the bad interviews they are beginning to question her ability and claims she is out of her league and not suited to be VP.

I mean when she was first announced you guys had her all over the place -

How bout it?

Thank you and GOD BLESS AMERICA

I think it will be a matter of weeks before we see the McCain campaign pull up stakes in Michigan, Colorado and Pennsylvania. With his campaign now having to focus more advertising money on Indiana and Virgina (states he should be winning) McCain is going to have to start picking his battles- i.e. Ohio, Virginia and Florida

And that if BS were money Palin could resolve the economic crises all by herself. You guys better check this out and report on it. Plus the plane and bus carrying Mccain no longer has Palin's name on it. Wha tare you guys doing? Sleeping?

They might want to run ads in every state. Polls show Montana is leaning McCain. Thats a laugh, I have talked to several who might have been at one time but they are not anymore. Obama and Biden have campaigned in Montana. Missoula, Kalispell-just to name a couple.

It's WISH TV in Indianapolis apparently. Obama won Marion and adjoining upper income Hamilton County in the primaries and remains strong. If McCain really wants to rally his base he needs ads on the Louisville and Cincinnati stations that blanket southeast Indiana.

This transplanted Hooser is amazed. If Schmidt feels they need to advertise heavily in Indiana, something's up and it's big!

OMG I just read this. I guess this is what he means when he says that he's suspended his campaign. This campaign has really become the theatre of the absurd. If I were a superstisious person, I'd say he just jinxed himself.

Seriously. If he wasn't such a complete lying a--hole, I'd actually feel a bit sorry for him.

It has been so much fun working under the radar in Indiana. Darn those poll numbers that show Obama even with McCain in Indiana. Yes, it will be very close in Indiana. I wouldn't be supprised if the winner has a plurality of...less than 1,000 votes.

The real question is which works better: Ads (with lies) or foot soldiers. I'm putting my nickel on foot soldiers knocking on every farm house, foot soldiers comparing Obama and McCain's position on Social Security. Foot soldiers saying people are not better off now than they were 8 years ago. Damn, it has been fun working under the radar.

What Sen.McCain is doing is highly entertaining but it is not good for the country.
We can see he is a gambler but is this good for our country. He picks Gov.Palin out of th eblue and she is sinking fast. Then he pulls this stunt about suspending and saving DC. None of which worked.
I am left with thinking Sen.McCain is rash and reckless and that is not what I need in a President. We need a smart, calm and confident President, who we can trust. We will get that with Sen.Obama
With Sen.McCain, we will be in for a roller coaster ride and I have no stomach for it after eight years of Bush.

McCain can apologies all he wants at the debate and try to use the economic crisis as a sticking point. However, the same can be said about the billions of dollars we are spending each month for an unwarranted war that we're also close to spending a trillion dollars. At least with this crisis, IT'S HOME. IT'S HITTING EVERYONE ON MAIN STREET. Either way it looks bad so it's best to stop the bleeding on Main Street and give people a good nights rest and look to the future.
