McCain's Iowa Strategy is Finally Clear

by Linda Thieman

Just yesterday on Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Republican strategist Alex Castellanos “let slip” that McCain's internal polling showed that the race in Iowa was tightening up.  “He's coming back,” said Castellanos.

Well, maybe not after all.  According to Daily Kos, John King over at CNN has just reported that McCain is writing off Iowa completely.

Yee-haw!

But I digress.  Interestingly, Kos notes that the McCain camp is also ditching giving up hope in Colorado and New Mexico, and, get this, concentrating all their efforts on the “must-win” state of Pennsylvania.

Yeah, maybe McCain can pull out all the stops in PA.  But I imagine it would be easier to pull off if Obama didn't have a double digit lead there. 

Kind of looks like McCain's Pennsylvania strategy is similar to his previous waste-money-on-Iowa strategy. 

Well, I predicted that Iowans wouldn't fall for those nasty McRobocalls.  Go figure.
