Major Developing Story: Sources tell CNN's John King Mccain on verge of pulling out of Colorado

Sources also tell John King that Mccain senior advisers are privately conceding that CO, NM and IA are gone and that Obama has such a substantial lead there that they will be hard pressed to catch up! He just told Wolf Blitzer this on air on the situation room at 2:08 PM pacific or so. Some advisers want to stay in CO but the "toppers" are very pessimstic!

So, essentially Mccain is giving up the whole election because there is NO WAY NONE that he can win the electoral college if he loses CO, NM and IA.

Wow. Shocking news.

1. They're going to try and flip PA.

[skooooo]

3. The best McCain can do now...

is to try and hold off complete humiliation, minimize the losses as best he can, and try not to lose too many once solid red states.

7. In light of that, Obama should use his superior war chest and make McCain bleed money.

Hit McCain in states like Virginia and North Carolina. Flood those states with Obama appearances and ads like there is no tomorrow. Let those voters there have the time to become more familiar with Obama.

4. Five down, forty five to go........drip, drip, drip.

I thought he said he liked being the underdog.

[stpalmer]

5. How broke is he?

He ran A LOT of commercials here in Colorado. I hope he ran out of money.

[luvspeas]

8. palin goes in, mccain goes out....

:nopity:

[HEyHEY]

6. What do you mean "Pulling out"? I'm not from your country.

[ingac70]

11. No longer campaigning and spending money in the state. n/t

[skooooo]

13. lol..you know what he/she means....

You're goofing, right??

[HEyHEY]

15. Well, I was just making sure

IN case there was something more formal than just stopping the campaign

[skooooo]

16. True there is a vast cultural divide between our countries...

I have a friend who's in a "mixed marriage," and it's a constant stress on both of them -- when to have Thanksgiving, etc.

:rofl:

[HEyHEY]

17. Fuck, I'd go with the US one

Ours is much less of a big deal.

9. Great news, guess he finally got the hint,

that he isn't gonna win here. I, as well as a lot of others are so sick of seeing his mug and his sidekick spewing lies on TV every ten minutes, we wont miss their ads..

[stoge18]

10. I saw this too.

Plan is to "hang on" to FL, VA, NC, OH, and flip PA (my state!). I suspect we're about to see some incredibly vile campaigning.

[skooooo]

14. I think PA is too far gone to flip, isn't it??? nt

[stoge18]

18. Yes, double digit lead in PA

But I heard John King correctly as did DUer in #1 response to OP. I can't imagine how they think they're going to flip PA.

[HEyHEY]

12. Big mistake; last time I said I'd "Pull out" it cost me half a morning after pill and a nice dinner.

[Geek_Girl]

19. Yeah because now they have to battle it in places like GA

GOP is just trying to hang on to Senate seats at this point and some of the traditional red states.

Stick a fork in em McCain is Done.

[Warpy]

20. I am hoarse from screaming at his hate filled, lying ads

all narrated by the same breathy female the GOP trots out every four years, the one who acts like she hasn't got much time (gasp gasp) but she has to tell you (puff puff) this incredible dirt about Obama eating kittens.

I am not a violent person but should I ever hear this female's voice in real life, she will not be long for this world.

I sincerely do hope he stops running lies here in NM. Nobody's buying them.

[ThoughtCriminal]

21. Retreat to Utah!

and try and avoid a shut-out!
