McCain’s Backbreaker? Pennsylvania

Tue, November 04, 2008 - 8:41 PM

Things are looking bleak for John McCain. He spent so much time in Pennsylvania the last few weeks because his advisers knew how crucial that state was to his chances. With Obama likely to take away one or more states Bush won in 2004, McCain needed to flip a big blue state from 2004. Pennsylvania presented the only opportunity, and even then it wasn't much of an opportunity. Polls showed Obama up by as much as 10 last week.

The exit polls tonight show Obama winning by 15 and several networks have called the state for the Democrat. McCain now desperately needs Ohio, Virginia and Florida to stay red to win.
