can retail politicking help McCain?


When the election came down to wire in NH for John McCain in the primaries, he promised 100 townhalls and that turned things around for him. Since that primary victory in NH, McCain has nothing but constant praise for retail politicking through townhall settings. 

Firstly is it even feasible when all the states go to vote on the same day in a National Election? How much can he do even if he focused in any or all of the battle grounds states?none of which is as small as NH was. 

McCain seems to be focusing like Hillary did on White older voters. The entire Bill Ayers/ACORN tactic seems to be aimed at just that. Chuck Todd recently opined that McCain's economic plan seems to focused mostly on seniors. 

This is a place where Hillary and Joe Biden will be some help to Obama, who has seen seniors move slowly but steadily in to his column.
