How bad are things looking for John McCain? Marc Ambinder reports that the RNC's independent expenditures arm will be airing TV ads in Montana, a state that Bush won by 20 points.
Montana's media market is relatively cheap but if things are indeed this bad for John McCain, wouldn't the RNC be better off spending the money on protecting endangered House or Senate Republicans?

Odds and Ends
Political Wire notes that the McCain campaign has cut ad spending in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. The spending has increased in red states of Florida and Virginia.
Political Punch notices the disparity in Virginia where Obama has 50 campaign offices to McCain's 24, 200 paid staffers in to McCain’s 50, and Obama is spending $250,000 a day on TV ads in the state, while McCain is spending $30,000 a day.
Top of the Ticket reports that voter registration has stagnated or dropped in safe states – a 5% drop in South Dakota since 2004 and a 2% decrease in New York over the same period. In contrast voter registration is up 30% in Nevada!
For the first time since 1994, there are more registered Democrats than Republicans in Nebraska’s Douglas County.
Obama leads in a new poll from Montana.

Simply Schweitzer
Via Stateline.org:
“That’s the dangest thing I’ve ever heard,” Schweitzer said during a roundtable with reporters at the Democratic National Convention. “In the West, whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting and some son of a seahorse snapdragon downstream says they are going to steal your water, it’s time to reach for your rifle.”
