CHICAGO (CBS) ? [1] Republican John McCain raised about $5 million in Chicago Monday night, or about $1 million for each hour he spent in Democrat Barack Obama’s home town.
CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports the only glimpse of McCain the public got came as his motorcade departed. Like every Republican presidential nominee since 1984, McCain appears to regard campaigning in heavily Democratic Illinois a waste of time.
Gee, maybe not, given those numbers. That speaks to me of distatse for Obama… even in his hometown. It seems reasonable to consider the idea that the polling data we’re seeing of late seriously under-estimates how much support Obama has lost.
