Dan Balz stated on Face the Nation Sunday that the Obama campaign that it had a 3-2-1 strategy; (1) meaning winning one state of either Ohio or Florida and Obama wins---(2) winning Virginia and either of the two, Iowa or New Mexico or---(3) winning three states New Mexico, Iowa and Colorado.

Living here in Colorado we are heavily engaged in GOTV activities in Early Voting and MIB (where complaints are building of slow mailing of ballots on requests where estimated 1.2M will vote by mail) activties are heavily under way. Yesterday the Obama campaign said that the McCain campaign made a media buy of $1.5M (exceeding the $1M of Obama) attempting to counter the Obama ground game.

So when CNN reported that McCain was pulling out of  CO at first there was a cheer and then a surprise. Except that Schaeffer is underperforming so they are not getting that boost, nor are they getting the Ballot initiative boost for proposition questions on what defines the beginning of life.

So then what gives for McCain? Admittingly they state they need to win Virginia, North Carolina, Florida (South), Indiana, (they are still assuming), Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

Now here it is the string---Reverand Wright----the final ten days will be a blitz of Reverand Wright re packaged and re formated in their robo calls and speeches.....RACE of course...In five of those states RACE is serious---outside of Nevada and Colorado and Iowa and New Mexico. But in those five states it works....especially Pennsylvania and the middle T also know as Alabama of the North.

To me it is obvious....and they will increase the temperature each day....but the problem is early voting....Ohio, NC, VA, IN, NV but no PA....why they think they can get away with this.

The distinction is as simple as 1-2-3.  It is a the full embrace of that the end justifies any means.

They are legitimate because I want them to be....and you challenging me on my moving ethos and morals is not legitimate.
