2. I haven't seen a single McCain Ad on our local stations since
before this past weekend. Obama on the other hand, is flooding the air with the health care ad (the one with the arrows). I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how many times the Obama and Franken ads are playing.

3. You are fortunate, SadeMN
In GA we get a few regularly.

We get some Obama ads. I hope GA isn't so stupid it goes for McCain. I have inlaws in NJ. Half are Mccain because they are OLD.

4. Another really cool thing that happened today is the Obama
ground game came to our house earlier this evening. A young lady came to canvass for Obama - then asked for support for Franken and Betty McCullum as well. I was thrilled.

10. Ed Schultz email from Monday
10/6/2008
FROM BIG EDDIE:
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"

12. McCain "expecting" 527s to do something for him is against Federal election law.
He'd better watch himself if he times his departures from states to coincide with 527 activity. That's called coordination, and it's ILLEGAL.

13. Thank you! But by the looks of it, he shouldn't waste resources in VA
