I agree that it is manipulation designed to depress and demoralize - successfully executed, as well, because the GOP "anonymous sources" will be given wide coverage in local Michigan markets. No voter likes to be told by a candidate that they've given up on your state.

The key problem with McCain is his damned root-canal economics. Yes, spending control is important, but people are not going to get fired up about earmark reform. They want to hear about tax cuts and economic growth.

McCain is not, and never will be, a supply-sider. That is the fundamental problem. He cannot sell something he does not believe in.

Yes, I will proudly cast my ballot for McCain-Palin and encourage others to do the same. It is also remarkable that McCain is still within 5-6 points of Obama.

That said, from the beginning I was an avid Romney supporter because he, like Reagan in 1976 and 1980, could run against Washington.. Think how much stronger we would now be. Thanks, Mike Huckabee, for delivering BO to us on a silver platter.

With the economy being the #1 issue now (and likely in November as well), Romney could've cleaned up.
