They're not showing a full sweep crowd shot but he does not look pumped the way some one would if there was a huge crowd. When he & Cindy were walking to the podium, they looked positively grief stricken - maybe it was just exhaustion.

He's spent a TON of time campaigning here. Why wouldn't that reflect at least *some* movement in the outside polls. It just makes no sense.

Is there any data (other than the NH primary) - showing many states that would be so off?

1. McCain should have gone to New Hampshire, Nevada and should have put
Iowa in play. But no, he wanted PA and went for it spending 6 precious days for a couple of points. Worst.Campaign.Ever

2. The amount of time spent in PA is
turning out to be a mistake. The McCain campaign must have thought they would get the "Alabama" part of PA.

3. What's bewildering is that THIS exact thing is all the proof you need about what kind
of president he'd be, how he'd run things, how his White House would be "managed", how the federal budget would be "managed." All kinds of bad decisions, reactive hysterics, erratic behavior, is nothing but a sneak preview of what we'd get in the next however many years he'd be in the Oval Office. A VERY bad campaign, staffed by VERY bad people making VERY bad decisions, setting VERY bad priorities, and giving VERY bad advice. How they run their campaigns (because the last word, the final approval, the ultimate green light, comes from them). Speaks volumes. No. Whole LIBRARIES.
