Time running out for McCain in race

Cracks are showing in the Republican camp as aides to McCain and running mate Sarah Palin point fingers at each other and brace for possible defeat in the November 4 vote.

While a victory is still possible, McCain's path to the White House has become increasingly narrow and difficult.

"McCain has to pull off a political miracle the likes of which has not occurred since modern political polling began," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.

"The numbers are good and getting better for Obama, and time is running out on McCain," he said.

Republican consultant Todd Harris, an aide to McCain during his 2000 presidential bid, said the expanding list of Republican-leaning states where McCain is in danger has made his task more daunting.

"There are significantly more ways for Obama to win than McCain," Harris said. "It's certainly an uphill climb."
