ANALYZING THE ELECTORAL MAP: SHIFT FOR MCCAIN By DICK MORRIS

Printer-Friendly Version

Dear Friends,

As the election unfolds, the swings in the polling put different states in play. Mostly, states stay in their traditional ranking of Republican to Democrat but sometimes, particular events in certain states make them more Democrat or more Republican.

To keep the perspective focused on which states are at issue, I'm working with Newsmax to publish a map each week until Election Day to tell you -- and the two campaigns -- which states deserve special scrutiny.

Thanks,

Dick Morris

Big Shift to McCain

There was a gigantic turn toward John McCain in the two weeks immediately after the GOP convention. In large part this was due to the Sarah Palin nomination, and the tremendous miscalculation by the Democrats in attacking Palin
— particularly on issues important to women, such as her caring for her children.

That backfired massively. The anti-Palin attack by the Democrats showed a cultural disconnect with America that is remarkable. Now, the contest is transitioning from post-convention issues to a race dominated by the economy. The key to that for Barack Obama is to stress the liability of the incumbent party for the mess that we're in economically.

For McCain, it will be stressing that Obama's tax proposals will make the situation worse. There has been a huge change among unmarried women, particularly, due in part to the hostile reaction of the Democrats to Palin. There are indications that the momentum of the race may be reversing itself again, however, as a result of the economy.
