McCain scrambles to save his West Virginia campaign

Memories. It seems like only yesterday I read John McCain's state director say the campaign was not worried about West Virginia. Oh, wait! It was only yesterday.

Ben Beakes, McCain's state director, said the Republican's campaign isn't worried.

Today, however, is another story:

7 days -- One week out -- Republicans expect to be crushed in historic landslide: buy emergency time in Montana and West Virginia

Good Tuesday morning. The Republican National Committee buys TV time in deep-red MONTANA and WEST VIRGINIA, a sign the party is scrambling to stave off a historic landslide a week from today. "Tough environment," one Republican official says sardonically. The McCain campaign has not officially given up on VIRGINIA but a top official concedes it is LOST, while maintaining that a PENNSYLVANIA miracle can still get Senator McCain to 270. He and Governor Palin will be there repeatedly before Election Day. But should they also be shoring up Nevada, now a must-win?

Win or lose, we've played our role in securing a national victory for Barack Obama by making John McCain spend his scant resources to defend the state they've taken for granted. Now let's go out there and win this thing for West Virginia!
