McCain is actually sliding in 11 out of 13 battleground states.

Ohio (20 EV)
Pennsylvania (21 EV)
Michigan (17 EV)
Wisconsin (10 EV)
New Hampshire (4 EV)
Virginia (13 EV)
Florida (27 EV)
Missouri (11 EV)
Colorado (9 EV)
New Mexico (5 EV)
North Carolina (15 EV)
Indiana (11 EV)
Nevada (5 EV)

If you go to the RCP site and take a look at the polling averages since the RNC, you will see a 5-10 drop in McCain support and Oama has gained 5-10% in every one of these states except Nevada and Indiana. ANd in those two states, while McCain has been steady, Obama has been gaining to a near tie over the month of September. The decline is almost assuredly related to Palin opening her mouth and McCain's erraticism on the Bailout.

This keep up Arizona and West Virginia will be a Battlegrounds as well

1. Obama has a real shot at taking ALL of those.

mcPOW needs them all to win, or nearly all of them. mcPOW is putting himself in a very deep hole.
