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.

[Miles the Slasher]

If he is not willing to take off he gloves, he may as well just pull out of the election. The man is pathetic.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. I thought he had shown occasional signs of brilliance, as with the pick of Palin. However, the past week or so he seems more like Bob Dole. He should be attacking, attacking, attacking - linking Obama to Schumer, Dodd and Frank, etc. Bob Dole II, the sequel. Sad...pathetic.

Michigan has a heavy Muslim presence. I don’t know if they are registered to vote or not, but that may be one reason that obama would have an advantage in that state.

[Crimson Elephant]

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

Yes, Do you campaign in a place that you have locked up?

[CatOwner]

There is no enjoyment watching the pathetic campaign that McCain is running against Obama.

[buccaneer81]

If Obama has Michigan in the bag, why is he and his wife doing so many rally’s there today?

The US stronghold of The Religion of Peace is the metro Detroit area.

[epluribus_2]

That is why McCain played here. To make Obama spend money and time here.

[impeachedrapist]

Yeah, this was 2nd to PA in potential pick up states.

BALONEY!!!!!

NH is the most likely blue state to flip, followed by WI and PA, then MI, IA or MN.

“CatOwner” is one of our very best “concern trolls.”

And infested with fleas.

I know what I believe, I’ve read negative comments directed at you by Freepers I trust, therefore I don’t trust you.

[My Favorite Headache]

Total garbage. How do you go from margin of error to blow out?

IT’S CALLED YOU DON’T FIGHT!!!!!

YOU CAN NEVER EVER WIN WITHOUT A FIGHT!

Last I saw, the polls were close there.

Most recent poll has Obama up 10 pts in Michigan.

McCain Bus Coming to Michigan

Adrian (WWJ\AP) — While Republican presidential nominee John McCain won’t be in Michigan Thursday—his brother will.

Joe McCain and other GOP supporters will be on a bus tour that’s scheduled to stop at Adrian College at 11 a.m. The bus made a stop Wednesday in Toledo.

[Thane_Banquo]

John McCain = Bob Dole.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. John McCain has resigned himself to losing, and wants to play the Bob Dole loveable loser role so he can get millions for doing a Pepsi ad during the Super Bowl.

Senator, is it country first, or McCain first?

[Mr. Jeeves]

“Anonymous Republicans reported that...”

Yes, I overheard two anonymous Democrats talking at lunch and they said Obama is pulling out of California because the huge Hispanic population there simply refuses to vote for him.

Pass it on. ;)

Maybe he is just “suspending” his campaign in Michigan?

Is it too late to have Romney replace this dud?

[stefanbatory]
