McCain pulling out of Michigan
Jonathan Martin
John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play.
McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states, including Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida. Wisconsin went for Kerry in 2004, Ohio and Florida for Bush.
McCain's campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Republicans had been bullish on Michigan, hopeful that McCain's past success in the state in the 2000 primary combined with voter dissatisfaction with Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and skepticism among blue-collar voters about Barack Obama could make it competitive.
McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin spent the night after the GOP convention at a large rally in Macomb County, just outside Detroit. The two returned later last month for another sizable event in Grand Rapids.
But recent polls there have shown Obama extending what had been a small lead, with the economic crisis damaging an already sagging GOP brand in a state whose economy is in tatters.
A McCain event planned for next week in Plymouth, Michiigan, has been canceled.

By the time November rolls around he may have pulled out of everything besides Sarah's cavernous cockholster.

McCain will win Michigan going away. Seriously. It won't even be close.

Re: The First Domino Falls
Even though Obama "pulled out" of Georgia, he's still gaining ground on McCain in what should have been a no contest state for McCain.

Here's a tip for you all. Georgia's polls close at 7:00 PM. If McCain is not winning that state by at least 10 points you know the motherfucking rout is ON and you can get your drink, weed or whatever other celebratory instruments you need going in full motherfucking effect.

Don't start celebrating until the polls close in Missouri.

Did I miss an election in the last 100 years, other than 1956, when Missouri didn't pick the eventual winner?
Surely you're not suggesting that a closer than usual vote in Georgia, in which the GOP candidate still wins handily, is cause for breaking out the tinfoil hats?
If Obama wins Missouri, then you'll be able to party like it's 1999. But best to keep the champagne corked until those results are in.

Depends on who the Bankers believe will suit them most. Having Obama at the helm is probably what they have in mind. Sure McCain looks like a good Manchurian Candidate but putting Obama in office should create the instability they need to get more control.
President Obama wins in a landslide.

Where did I say McCain was clean as the driven snow ? Of course he's dirtier than Obama - he's got more "experience". But Obama isn't clean. Personally I believe he's been selected. Selected to be the President. He'll win by a landslide though.
