McCain keeping hopes high for Pa.

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. -- Bruce Castor was making small talk with a few Fraternal Order of Police officials yesterday as they waited for reporters to arrive for a McCain campaign news conference. By the scheduled hour, one television cameraman had shown up; no local reporters.

"There's a dead body in Juniata Park," a McCain staffer reported. "That's what some people are covering."

Deciding not to wait any longer, the Montgomery County commissioner, a former prosecutor, dutifully read a statement assailing Arizona Sen. John McCain's presidential rival, Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, as soft on crime, as a friend of "the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers."

Finishing second to a corpse for media attention was not quite the result the campaign might have hoped for on a day when polls depicted a double-digit deficit for the GOP ticket in a state they've heavily targeted.

1. So what's the deal with McCain's obsession with Pennsylvania?

He's not going to win it -- why is he pretending otherwise?

4. He's got a lot of work to do elsewhere...wasting his time in PA

5. "The economy is going to pick up, that may help"

Specter said that, I would expect that's the way they will spin it every day the market goes up: The economic crisis is over everyone, vote McCain!

6. Come back to Iowa, Johnny!

We miss you, you haven't visited for a day or two! Ignore Obama's double-digit lead in the polls here, and treat us like a battleground state! Joke about becoming a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvqAYW3AV0g">dictator!


Remember, kids, the more time John spends in Iowa, Pennsylvania, and other 10+ point Obama states, the less time he's in North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, etc.

8. "High" is right, if McCain thinks he has a snowball's chance.
