Shifting their resources and their priorities, Bush is scaling back advertising in the historically Democratic state of Maine, while Kerry is not slated to run any TV commercials in GOP-leaning Colorado this week. It's a signal that both are all but abandoning their bids to put those states back in their own win columns. Four years ago, Bush won Colorado and Democrat Al Gore won Maine.


The Massachusetts senator, in a show of confidence, also is cutting his spending in Michigan and Oregon, both won by Gore in 2000.
