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.

Detroit is mostly black with a big ACORN presence.

If McCain mentions names and brings out ADs showing obama said he would never use nuclear weapons, his connection to ACORN, ask obama is his community any better since he was an organiser there and then show the area on an AD.

is this the change we want they should ask in it

On Fox this morning...

In response to a question from Gretchen on why he is not attacking Obama:

“We’ll continue to draw differences between myself and Obama...We’re doing fine...”

No we are NOT, John.

See minute 3:36 of the video:

  "Obama’s remarks about PA, Biden and coal, the appeal of Palin and the like might add a different dynamic to PA"

Apparently it added some kind of dynamic.  On the 24th Biden made a typically stupid remark about coal.  However....

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/election_2008_pennsylvania_presidential_election2

Rasmussen reports says: Barack Obama continues to widen his lead over John McCain in Pennsylvania, where the Democrat is now ahead 50% to 42% in the latest Fox News/Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.

Just target="_self" href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/pennsylvania/obama_takes_four_point_lead_in_pennsylvania"> three days ago/a> Obama was ahead by four. Two weeks ago the race was tied in the Keystone State.

So, you believe that McCain has been running a stellar campaign against Obama? You agree with everything he’s done so far, ignoring the bailout issue which appears to be a no-win for McCain?

truth is this.....so many states are close, that a lanslide could be in the making .........just as much a chance for Mac and Palin as for the hussein.....

we need to hold the Bush states....

thats' it...

okay...we can lose the good farm country of Iowa because their big farm bribes are more important than the country....and we can lose New Mexico where the SOS has printed 1,000,000 extra ballots just to be "safe".....MAC AND SARAH STILL WIN!

“John McCain = Bob Dole.”

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

No way McCain wins PA...not with Philly and Fast Eddie. That state has gone from purple to blue.

Detroit News (the more conservative of the 2 Detroit Papers) has a headline up on their Website saying it is true:

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081002/POLITICS01/810020462

I’m furious. What happened to “FIGHT with me”?!!!!

This guy makes Bob Dole look like Muhammad Ali.

The totals of the last polls in 2004 had Kerry leading about 47.4% and GWB running about 45.7%...

CO is important, to lose it puts McCain in a bad bad way, PA is a reach as is WI and MN.

As far as I know, Obama has pulled out of North Dakota, Georgia and Alaska. How can McCain complete with the Muslim vote for Bambi? As a side note, I just read a thread that said that John’s brother would be campaigning in Michigan for him.

McCain seems downbeat when he said “ Life isn’t fair”. The things happening in Ohio must have upset him. In 35 days, ACORN will implant 350,000 votes, enough to tilt it to 0bama. Remember Sec. of state in Ohio is Pro-dem. With a dem Governor in Michigan, it is wise to pull it off. At this point, looks like, he might have to win FL, PA and hope he can keep CO and flip NH. Nothing to lose at this point,. He can let Sarah loose and attack…attack… and attack. Spread the voter fraud to as many people as possible and let true Americans take charge to get this country back from ACORN.

Politico wrote McCain off not too long ago.
I just saw another thread on here that said McCain’s bus was coming to MI....with his brother???
What in the world is going on with McCain??
Seems to me like,if you really put America First, you’d fight a lot harder for her.

To quote another politician....”Just words...Just speeches”.

Exactly, it's manipulation. There's no denying that MCCain is making some major missteps, and the media is in the can spinning away for Obama, but I can't yet totally disown my faith in the American voters-not quite yet, with a month to go-to use their God-given American good sense to see Obama for what he is, which is plain for Ray Charles to see. If Obama gets sworn in, then I throw in the towel(at least as far as going through the political system to fight for American values). In the meantime, why make it easy for the other side, even if we have to fight them in spite of McCain? Why just roll over and give it to them? We are Americans, we live here too. We can deal with McCain's BS when he's there, does anyone think Obama will give conservatives the appearance of a hearing, except to laugh or spit in our faces?

I’m continually amazed at otherwise smart people who support Obama, but can’t articulate why.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nobody who is “otherwise smart” is supporting Obama. Obama supporters are either enemies of America or WILLFULLY IGNORANT, the type who don’t want anyone confusing them with facts. Nobody who votes for Obama deserves to be called smart, a smart person who cannot bring himself to vote for McCain would stay home or vote third party.

Divide this country up, seriously. We can’t live together anymore. We just can’t.
