COMMENTS: Where the Action Will Be
The pro-Republican bounce in support for John McCain after his convention, has narrowed the number of states that the networks' political units deem to be actively contested. ABC's George Stephanopoulos put the number at eight: three in the west (Colo, Nev, NM); three in the rust belt (Wisc, Mich, Ohio); one in New England (NH); one in the mid-Atlantic (Va). Tuesday, NBC's Chuck Todd performed the same analysis and came up with nine--those eight plus Florida. Both whittled the contest down to an even shorter shortlist: Todd settled on Colo, Va, NH, Ohio; Stephanopoulos said "it would have to, one more time, be Ohio."
