David’s in despair. Last night on Larry King it flowed over in full.
DAVID FRUM, FORMER SPEECHWRITER, PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, SUPPORTS MCCAIN: … I — my own advice to Republicans, though, is that we need to focus now on the Senate and saving as many senators as we can. And we need to stop indulging the idea, which has been pretty dead for a while, this is — this race is winnable. It’s probably not winnable. It’s almost certainly not winnable. But there are dollars flowing to the Republican National Committee to McCain that should be going to John Sununu, that should be going to Norm Coleman. And we ought to be making the argument that, look, I mean there probably is going to be a Democratic administration. There probably is going to be a Democratic Congress. Send some Republican senators to provide some balance.
But that means facing up to the way things are probably going to be.
Stories
like this one are encouraging. National polls are at the 10-point tipping point we need going in and where
we need them to be. But state to state polls are very tight. Remember that Obama
could possibly win the popular vote, but not come out ahead in the electoral college. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.
Ed Rendell is a
little nervous about Pennsylvania. That’s McCain’s path to the White House, as they see it, providing “undecideds” fall towards McCain.
Again, things look good, very good, with the wind at our backs. I
haven’t seen an easy path for McCain to the White House for a couple of weeks. The economic crash killed him, with Sarah Palin driving the nail in.
But stay vigilent. It isn’t over yet.
