McCain struggles for Pa. upset; GOP doubts grow


http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/28/mccain-struggles-for-pa-upset-gop-doubts-grow-1/

HERSHEY, PA. (AP) - Barack Obama and John McCain fought for votes Tuesday on critical ground in Pennsylvania, the only Democratic state McCain is still contesting on a national political map growing increasingly daunting. With just one week to go, GOP doubts about his chances for the presidency grew louder.

Even two Republicans once on McCain's short list for vice president sounded skeptical. In a fundraising e-mail on behalf of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Mitt Romney referred to "the very real possibility of an Obama presidency." In the Midwest, Gov. Tim Pawlenty gave a dour assessment of McCain's chances in his state, saying Obama "has a pretty good advantage in Minnesota right now."

Nationally, a poll by the Pew Research Center found Obama with a 16-point lead among registered voters. The survey said Obama had 52 percent and McCain 36 percent, with independent voters supporting the Democrat by a 48-31 margin.

4. I find it amazing that now McCain is desperate for an upset.
Didn't he actually lead there at one point in time? If so, it must've been on name recognition and little more.
