McCain asks NH voters for one more comeback win

GOFFSTOWN, N.H. – Republican John McCain on Wednesday implored New Hampshire voters "to come out one more time" on his behalf, as the two-time primary winner tried to stave off a general election loss with sharp criticism of Barack Obama's tax and spending plans.

"I love you. I love New Hampshire," McCain told a rally crowd in a college hockey rink. "I know I can count on you again to come from behind and take a victory and bring it all the way to Washington, D.C., next January."

McCain added: "I'm asking you to come out one more time. Get out the vote."

Although McCain won the 2000 and 2008 New Hampshire primary, recent polls have shown Obama with a lead no smaller than 7 percentage points with less than two weeks until Election Day. That has prompted speculation McCain may have to surrender the state's four electoral votes and focus elsewhere if he hopes to cobble together the 270 needed to become president.

Senior adviser Mark Salter dismissed such thinking Tuesday. He said McCain was visiting New Hampshire because "we get a charge out of it. We think we're competitive there. They get it."

I spoke with several Republicans who are voting for Obama.the town that I canvassed in gave 55 percent of its 2004 vote to Bush. I only spoke with 2 Mccain voters, and they weren't particularly enthusiastic.
