GOP Insiders McCain close to pulling out of Minnesota
Sunday night I was told by Capitol Hill insiders the polling after Tuesdays
debate will determine McCains next shift in resources. McCain will trim operations
in Minnesota this week and may be out of the state by the end of the week.
Obama has opened a solid double digit lead in the Gopher state. Some McCain insiders
feel the state is already lost coupled by the fact that Al Franken is now leading
Senator Norm Coleman.
Sources with knowledge of the campaign are telling me this will be a crucial week for McCain.
All Minnesota efforts will be reallocated to Ohio, Florida and possibly Virginia.
The McCain camp is now expecting the 527's to attack Obama on character in an
attempt to shift the conversation and focus off the economy. One source told me
tonight "We are definitely in need of a game changer"
Obama leads MN by 18%, NH by 13%, VA by 12%, PA by 11%, OH by 7%
