Which has a whopping total of 4 electoral votes and where he is behind Obama by 7%. A peculiar strategy with just 2 weeks left.

3. McCain is popular in NH and it is closer than 7%.
And right now he has to go after any swing state that he has a chance in. What other choice does he have?

Palin was in ME and NH last week
The campaign seems to be generally unfocused. They really seem to be just going through the motions at this point.

5. Where else can McStrange go?
He's pretty much given up on everywhere else.

7. McCain thinks he has some "connection" with NH.
We'll see about that.

9. NH will not go for McInsane.
At least not according to my relatives that live there, it is trending blue more every day.

10. OK, I'd get this if Obama and McCain were actually neck and neck with 2 weeks left,
or if he were doing this a month ago, but not now. Al Gore would have won the electoral vote had he won New Hampshire. McCain needs to be focussed and to spend what little time he has left in going after the big prize electoral states that he even has a remote chance of winning. My god, think if he was our Commander in Chief and running our armed forces as idiotically as he has done with his campaign.
