    clinging to a theory

    I like Thomas Schaller's perspective, I really do, but he is blinded at this point by his own theory. There is more going on -- check out North Carolina, virtually a tie, and with Dole behind(!) in the Senate race. Will Obama win that state? Not likely at all, but that it is contested is the point. As the election date gets closer, of course resources move. But really, if there hadn't been a broad strategy, would Nevade be in play? Colorado?
