Politico.com is reporting that the McCain campaign is no longer competing in Michigan. They've cancelled a campaign stop, pulled their ads, and relocated staff.

Is this the beginning of the end?

I will not be confident until Tim Russert circles Ohio in blue on his white board!

"McCain withdraws from Michigan...a frustrated Michigan had no comment."

With apologies to Chevy Chase....

I wish he'd withdraw from Ohio. His ad's are total lies. The RNC ad's are far worse and also flat out lies. GET OFF MY TV!

And he says Obama is ahead in the polls because "life isn't fair".

I just sent Greg Jbara a note with a double congratulations. One for the incredible job they did last night and the second for coming from such an intelligent and worthy state.

On to Ohio!

This is such great news it is exactly the kind of win early in the campaign we need. Kudos to all for their very hard work and to those that donate to keep this moving.

Michigan is a SWING STATE. Yes, it has gone to the democrats in the last 5 or so elections, but it's always a CLOSE race there. And it has 17 electoral votes! McCain pulling out of it seems like a bad move to me.

Whine...whine...whine...

Palin disagrees with Michigan move

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081003/pl_politico/14253;_ylt=AqZeqCIBJmiV_DBS9v_87jOyFz4D

The Alaska governor first heard the news this morning and fired off a quick e-mail to campaign officials expressing her displeasure with the move.

“Oh c’mon, do we have to?” Palin said she wrote.

Tomorrow at the soccer game, just ask any other other mahms how they feel about Michigan and then ask Joe Six-Pack. He'll know 'cause he's drinkin' so many of those goshdarm six-packs these days 'cause he's out of work 'cause of all of President Bush's huge blunders...and the greedy lenders...and Wall Street, which The Team of Mavericks will knock down like we do in Alaska when someone stands in front of us and blocks out ten minutes of daily sunlight. We say, "Hey, you, enough is enough! That sunlight belongs to all us hockey mahms and pitbulls with lipsticks because we're going to cut taxes no matter what topic you want me to talk about!"
