McCain placing his eggs in PA

In political circles (and starting to be revealed in the national media), that McCain is starting to pull out in New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, Iowa, and Wisconsin. He is doing this to refocus on PA. The reason he is behind, is it is believed no matter what he does he is going to lose two battleground states, which would cost him the election. However, PA has enough electoral votes to counteract that. So far there has been little movement in the polls. In addition, McCain has already spent his fortune there and has not edged up in polls.

Latest numbers I have heard of what John McCain would need to win:

95% Republican Vote
15% Democratic Vote
60% Indpendent Vote

Nearly impossible given the current political atmosphere.
