I excerpt from Chuck Todd's excellent piece on NBC News' website because it accurately depicts the state of the race for the White House and the McCain Campaign. I am not discouraged but we have some serious work to do and it requires an effort from everyone who reads this post.
I am not defeatist because serious people are doing serious work to grow the grassroots/netroots effort for John McCain and we welcome their efforts.
Sheridan Folger of MadIrishman and Tony GOPrano of Politico Mafioso are putting the finishing touches on the 50 state Google Groups for McCain. We will have all 50 states up in the sidebar in the next day or two. Find your state, click on it and join...and invite your friends, family and contacts.
Katherine Morrison of NH4McCain has created McCain Blogger resources that are accessible through the top navigation bar.
Lane from BlogsforJohnMcCain has created a terrific site. Beth from MyVastRightWingConspiracy has created another great site, McCainBlogs. This is not competion. This is coordination. This is growth and this is support.
McCainVictory08.com started out as a dozen bloggers and now we have over 100. What John McCain needs is to have all the readers and fellow bloggers to actuallly get involved. Donate. Communicate. Join and Recruit.

A perfect storm puts him on top, but will Obama topple his momentum?
uck ToddPolitical Director
NBC News
There are at least two people hoping Sen. Hillary Clinton does well on Junior
Super Tuesday: Clinton, of course, and Sen. John McCain.
The last thing McCain needs right now is to face a de facto Democratic nominee by the name of Sen. Barack Obama.
McCain's general election campaign is still in its infancy. It would not be a stretch to describe the campaign staff structure as skeletal. From the press shop to the fundraising team, the operation is thin, and understandably so. Obama’s campaign may be a movement, but McCain is the one who rode momentum to a nomination.
McCain's comeback remains truly remarkable, and is still under-appreciated. About 18 different things had to happen simultaneously for McCain to end up the nominee. And miraculously, they all did: Mike Huckabee rising in Iowa; Rudy Giuliani not contesting New Hampshire and South Carolina; Fred Thompson showing less interest than his wife did in running; Florida Gov. Charlie Crist spending money to get soft
Republicans out to vote on a property tax initiative, and so on.
…For now, McCain's has an incredible challenge in front of him – he has to build a national campaign. And the last thing he needs is a presumptive Democratic opponent on March 5.
