With three weeks left until election day, here's a small glimpse of how desperate matters are looking for John McCain.
Todd Palin spent part of his weekend campaigning for McCain in Maine.
Maine!
By state electorate law, Maine has the option of splitting the electoral vote based on percentage of votes cast for candidates in individual counties. Rare occurrence, yes, however worth a shot for McCain to fire up the base by bringing in the First Dude of Alaska to speak to about seventy-five Maine voters.
The rally had the look of Todd Palin warming up for Senior Bingo Night, followed by a few songs from Spinal Tap and the leading act, Puppet Show.
Then there's North Carolina. The mere fact that political soothsayers are still calling North Carolina up for grabs is astounding. Not since Jimmy Carter in 1976 have the Democrats been able to even sniff victory in this state.
McCain will rally, as he always does. Carter was leading in a few polls by nearly 30-points a month before his election in '76, and he ended up winning by the smallest of peanuts.

Gore led by 11 points in Oct. 2000... Dems do not need to worry, Obama is a shoe in.. No need to get out the vote... It is going to be a landslide...
McCain is pulling out of Wisconsin which is odd considering Gore and Kerry barely won the state. Still seems like it could be won by the Repubs. But hey, I'm not complaining.
