Taking the temperature of the race

When the governor and the state party chair of a state you have to win (Florida) are actively distancing themselves from you, you've probably already lost that state.

When you base your campaign on winning a state where you are trailing by 10+ points and Dems outnumber Repubs by 1.2 million (Pa,) you're in a lot of trouble.

When you have to exasperatedly tell a network interviewer, "Listen to Me! I'm the Candidate!," you've lost the message battle.

And, When you're handed an RNC mailer by a local reporter (Mo) and asked, "are you proud of that?," you've probably gone too negative.
