C'est la vie Michigan

In case you missed it yesterday, John McCain is pulling up stakes in Michigan. He has left his hopes for that state in a basket in front of a nunnery. I guess the economic prospects just left him with too big a task. That he can't get his message a foot hold in Mishigan seems to bely problems with his message gaining traction in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. In fact, man recent polls have him losing ground fast or flat out behind in Indiana and Ohio, two states Bush won in 04. So what's his campaign strategy?

I guess he's putting it all into desperately holding on to those states Bush won. Which is somewhat of a decent plan considering Bush won. But already Obama is peeling off states from the Red column and making McCain claw for life in states that haven't gone for the Democrats since the sixties. Pulling out of Michigan essentially says "I have no hope of expanding the map, dear God I'm losing solid red states. Get me a drink Cindy before I smash the coffee table." So if you hate John McCain and really hope he loses in November, good news, he's coming to the realization that its going to happen and he needs to horde his money in piles in North Carolina, Ohio, and Indiana. Hey John, good thing you picked Palin instead of Romney. You might have actually had a shot in Michigan with Mittens "Son of a Michigan Governor" Romney. HAW HAW!
