McCain's path to victory

With McCain representing the Republican brand, even if he were to lose the race he should be able to save a few Senate seats (say 2-3) and a handful of House seats (perhaps 10). The latter could keep the Democrats majority below 250, a reachable number for the GOP in 2010.
But this isn't meant to be just a simple lesson in how McCain can cover the spread. This is about looking at his path to victories.
