Can "the Penguin" really carry Pennsylvania?
Why is McCain in Oa?
OK, I must be the last blogger in America to post this (h/t John A.) , but at the bottom is the lost outtake from last Wednesday debate. McCain -- I mean, the Penguin, got off the best line of the night.
In a related question, isn't "the Penguin" becoming something of a "Joker" for spending so much time here in Pa.?
No, it doesn't make a lot of sense. I wouldn't be ready to write off McCain, but I don't see how Pennsylvania is the answer -- those veterans and blue-collar Reagan Dems show no sign of breaking the way the GOP once had good reason to think they would. The only McCain strategy is to hold every state that Bush won in 2004 and maybe try to add one. I think he could definitely pull out Florida and Ohio, but I wonder how he holds New Mexico and Colorado and I couldn't even suggest a Kerry 2004 state that he should be going for.
You don't need a Penguin to see the frost coming.
